This is an awesome survey. I am a avid fan of Django and have been using it for over 4 years.

I found it amusing people are split between 6 and 12 month for release cycles.

Thus new release cycle will be 8 months, middle ground.

There are few other changes for release, notably SemVer adoption. For detailed Roadmap, see https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/

That's what jumped out at me too :) I'd favor longer term release sometimes it's difficult to mobilize organizations I work for to upgrade :

Love django been using it for 5 years, go to web framework
