> I don't think that we can revert [1] without a technical board approval
Needing technical board approval to keep url() seems fair to me. I think most of the 2522559 changes are ok. I'd be fine if we only made these changes: https://github.com/django/django/compare/master...collinanderson:keepurl?expand=1 Re migration, we also need to change the imports from "django.conf.urls" to "django.urls". I think this is the sort of thing that changes an effortless django upgrade into an annoying django upgrade. Is it really worth it to force people to do this? Should Django be developer friendly? > you have 4 more years to do this If it were 10 years from the proposal being accepted (2017 to 2027), I think that would be fine for removal then. It allows for a more natural upgrade as path() becomes more and more common. I don't see keeping url() around as slowing down Django's ability to evolve over time. It makes it easier for people to upgrade, which means more projects will use newer versions of django, which is a huge benefit to Django's ability to evolve.
