I don't think Django should ditch their ORM, but for the time being simply re-implement it on top of SQL Alchemy core. I think it would have at least three positive outcomes: * It would greatly increase support for the number of databases and database drivers. * It would give developers something in between using the ORM or forgoing it and using SQL strings in raw() or db.connection(). * It would provide an easier path forward to adding additional capabilities into the Django ORM.
