Comment 23 for bug 264191

+1 from me.

The django developers strongly stated that with this release there will be backwards compability for years from Version 1.0 on. This is also the reason why it took so long to get the 1.0 release out. The good thing therefore, if you get it in Intrepid:
With this package Ubuntu will stay on the safe site for a long time - because of the conservative and quality-oriented work of the django guys that is in terms of YEARS - also if they include updates from time to time they will definitely not break any web project done with the 1.0 release.

I would also put the old django version out of the repository, it will not be supported anymore in terms of security bugs.

The 1.0 release was the necessary step to have a stable base - also for doing security fixes who work for all django projects because of the backwards compabiltiy from now (1.0) on.
