I'm on the fence. The requirements file should really list all versions
of Django we support, though this is obviously not possible. I figured
that, since we do have test targets to ensure backwards compatibility,
we might as well use the latest and greatest. However, Django 1.8 is,
as you say, LTS, and it may be as good an option as any on which to
base our development on.

How about we list all supported upstream versions of, e.g.
'Django>=1.8,<1.10'? This is kind of like what Postorius does [1],
though we will simply encourage people not to use 1.6/1.7 rather
than drop support for these versions entirely yet.
