Fyi, Django is currently talking about dropping 2.3 support [1]. It
hasn't been decided conclusively yet with some devs on either side of
the fence, but they're looking at it. I'll report back on this when I
know more. Obviously, we should not do so just because some other
package does, but the Django team is very attune to the community at
large and a nice way for a small project like ours to gauge these
sorts of things. There's some interesting points both for and against
in that discussion.

I have to wonder if the jump to 2.0 is enough for us to warrant
dropping 2.3 support given other, larger projects are looking at doing
the same. After all, having a major release (x.0) is a strange place
to start issuing depreciation warnings (as some suggest for Django)
for 2.3 specific code that will be removed in x.1. That seems silly to
me. If we're going to do it, now is as good a time as any. I suppose
we'll have to see how things play out for others.
