How about a (possibly informal) policy of:

(Which'd be in line with this PR)

@tomchristie

I see compat changes here - should the last checklist item also be ticked?

@carltongibson

@tomchristie If that's the decision then OK, but I still think we should drop 1.6 and then when 1.4 goes EOL we (formally) follow Django's supported versions.

I worry that by supporting 1.6 we'd be saying it's OK to be using it — and it really isn't. (If people are stuck on 1.6 then the old versions of DRF will still work for them, and their priority should be on upgrading Django — not keeping up with us.)

(Again, "Opinion")

@tomchristie @xordoquy — This should be ready to review.

I didn't Milestone it.

The bit I wasn't sure about was compat.set_rollback. There's a mention of >=1.6 there but it was nested inside a couple of conditionals (for which I'd need to look into it...) — I left it as was.

Def a reasonable possibility.

Okay great. We'll add django1.9-alpha when it comes out in a few days.
Dropping 1.6 also a possibility, but to be reviewed/considered separately.
