This is such a great answer. Definitely understand the reasoning here -- part of Django's strength is its ecosystem and its available third-party apps. Taking that away would certainly hinder adoption/productivity.
At the same time, it's important to realize that there will probably need to be some point in the future where Django has to take a stand and firmly put down a timeline on when apps need to be migrated to stay "relevant."
Maybe something like Python's Wall of Superpowers / Shame (http://python3wos.appspot.com/) though I know Jesse Noller has had some pushback on this website.
