27 To me it doesn't makes sense to release an unofficial version of the framework
28 instead of bumping reviewboard to support the new LTS version of it.

30 Anyway, the only way I see is that reviewboard bundles that version of django. I
31 strongly object adding that version of django under dev-python/django as this
32 will suggest the user, that there is still support by upstream for 1.6.
