Two things to be considered:
- Django-1.6 will get out of maintenance when F21 is still released
(probably in March 2015)
- when running an app, the following lines in your wsgi file need to be
placed or replaced:
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
instead of whatever was there earlier to define the application.

There are no Django applications that are part of the install sets of
any of the Products or Spins so far as I am aware, so the risk to the
Project deliverable dates would be minimal. I'd suggest bringing it to
FESCo for a more complete risk-analysis, but I'd argue that we'd be
better off shipping python-django as 1.7 and also the python-django16
package in Fedora 21.
