OK, I'm moving. I'll do the whole magic redirect thing later on, but just in case, I'm going to be over here:

@carlton@chaos.social

See you on the other side! 🤞

Reading the chaos.social rules. **Finally** understand the difference between public and quiet/unlisted posts.

@djangochat @nessita @wsvincent It’s just an idea to stimulate your thought, rather than an actual suggestion, but… Why CalVer? Well, we don’t really do Major versions, 5.0 could just have well have been 4.3, and Django release schedule IS timebased… That I ❤️ CalVer is entirely incidental 😜

@sarahboyce @djangochat @nessita @wsvincent BRILLIANT! 🤩 I’ve got a Not-Really-Secret-Rant™ in the back-pocket, which is “⚠️ Don’t use the LTS!” I’ve half-floated it at various times over the years. Turns out folks are quite (en-us) attached to it. 😳 Clients will service their cars, but not update their Django applications it seems 😜 (Don’t @ me! 🥰)

@adamchainz @sarahboyce @djangochat @nessita @wsvincent I DO think having the LTS is good as an insurance though… say a disruptive change did occur, it gives the ecosystem room to breathe, and heal that. So keeping it on 👍 (That I don’t use it is because such changes have been managed by the API stability, depreciation, and backport policies successfully in recent years, and that is projectable forwards.)

@_chrismay thanks, yes, it would be lovely. It’s been a monster 12 months though, and at some point something has to give. You will have a great time though, and we can meet next year 😉

@kevinrenskers Yeah, or we could just decide that the existing system is fine, and continue with it. The point of the post was just to ask folks to ponder it, on the back on the discussion on the podcast. (Most likely is that changing isn’t worth the disruption, but we’ll see.)

@kevinrenskers yep, that’s another option. The change from 1.11 to 2.0 made sense from this point of view, because that was dropping Python 2, which was kind of big. Since then though we could have just ticked along really… The LTS is popular. It gives folks a stable supported version for essentially 3.5 years.

@marcelotryle@fosstodon.org so can that log entry be raised to a warning? I suspect so, although I didn't look into it. My thought was that asyncio already ≈does what you're asking (or so it looked)
