This is a great move by the #django community. This adds even more stability from my point of view. It also makes an internal discussion way easier. Thanks for that.

After the morning break, I'm enjoying @frank and @calvinhp comparing @django and @FastAPI .

I especially like that this feels constructive rather than competitive: not “which one wins?”, but understanding where each approach fits best.
