I remembered a thing from Michaels talk at #DUTH. Let me present a use case for subclassing a backend:
https://github.com/opbeat/django-postgres-readonly/blob/master/django_postgres_readonly/base.py I think if we end up favouring immediate deprecation, we could proactively find and inform backend maintainers that would be affected. Their users might not be so appreciative though. I think Claude's position is a good one. A short deprecation period at a minimum. For my own interest I just did a quick search on PyPI for `django postgres` and found the following (having various levels of django version support): https://github.com/2degrees/django-postgres-delete-cascade/blob/master/django_postgres_delete_cascade/base.py https://github.com/kennethreitz/django-postgrespool/blob/master/django_postgrespool/base.py https://github.com/jdelic/django-postgresql-setrole/blob/master/postgresql_setrole/__init__.py (this one imports from the new location!) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
