Looks like channels was not included in 1.10. Is there still a plan to package it with Django or is it better served to be a stand alone app for now?

According to channels' documentation:

> You can install Channels as a library for Django 1.8 and 1.9, and it (should be) part of Django 1.10.

To quote Channel's author, Andrew Godwin: "I will take the path-most-trodden for me and large Django features, which is to run it as an external package, compatible with 1.8 through 1.10 (which the package already is), and let it mature and develop outside of core, before coming round to look again at inclusion for 1.11 or 2.0."

It was withdrawn from the 1.10 release about 3 months ago, I think:
