I think whatever goodies Django 2.x will have, they'll be backported to 1.x by somebody. At my last job they were still using Django 1.6 when I quit last year.

At my last job they were still using Django 1.6 when I quit last year. Updating to a new version takes a lot of manhours. Rewriting the codebase in a new language (which basically what Python 2 -> Python 3 transition is) would be completely out of the question.

- danpalmer 10y agoYep. I've done 1.6->1.7->1.8->1.9 at my current workplace and 1.6->1.7 with Django migrations was the biggest one by a long way. The documentation for upgrades is great too.
