Should we be considering putting things together in a side tag before landing in Rawhide? Also, I know at least Review Board is incompatible with 1.5 at this time. They're planning to have a 1.5-compatible release sometime in the next month or so. Looking at the release notes[1], there is a sizeable number of backwards-incompatible changes present in this new version. I think it's going to bite us if we force it straight into Rawhide at this point. Given the way that Django tends to operate (backwards-incompatible releases about every six months with only the current and previous release supported for bugfixes and security), I'm wondering if we shouldn't just drop the 'python-django' package entirely and go with 'python-django14', 'python-django15', etc. from here until eternity, retiring unsupported versions only between upstream releases. This is a policy that would probably also work acceptably for EPEL (CCed). Also, Django 1.5's release notes[2] indicate that it now has support for Python 3.2 and later. I'd strongly recommend that we should be dual-building python3-django15 as well here.
