Generally we don't really put out "timelines" per-se.
You see, we're all volunteers around here, and committing to a solid timeline
seems the best way to ensure that we miss it. Until we've got people who
actually get paid full-time to work on Django[*], this is how it'll be.

Actually, though, there hasn't been anyone who's (so far) volunteered to work
on bring newforms into generic views. So, if that's something you'd like to
work on, we'd all love it if you jump on over to django-dev and offer your
services.

FYI, this is usually how I do it::
<div class="form-row {% if form.errors%}error{% endif %}">
{{ form.field }}
</div>
Then I can use a CSS rule like::
div.error input { ... }
To stype fields with errors.
