EPEL Deprecated Django 1.5 in

Hello,

as far as I can see, EPEL 7 currently provides packages `python-django`
and `python-django15` being versions 1.6.5 and 1.5.6 respectively. EPEL
6 provides `python-django15` and `Django14` being 1.5.6 and 1.4.14.

According to the Django documentation [1], since version 1.7 was
released, version 1.5 won't receive security updates anymore. Wouldn't
it be better to remove python-django15 from both repos and add 1.4
(current LTS which will be supported at least until March of 2015) to
EPEL 7 and 1.6 to epel 6?

Thank you in advance,
Dionysis
