We're not bringing in the whole of Django REST Framework, just some of the underlying mechanics that are useful for all apps (like content negotiation). DRF will remain a third-party project.

As for Python versions, there isn't any plan to drop 2.7 yet and Channels will work on it. It might be we move to Python 3 only at some point in the future, but there are no firm plans right now.

Is Tom Christie (DRF author) going to help with any of that? I backed his kickstarter when he was writing DRF 3.x and I'm just curious if he is involved. Super nice gent.

He is indeed - he helped me with the Django proposal, actually. He's the one setting the direction for what to include and what to keep separate.

According to roadmap https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2015/jun/25/roadmap/ "Django 1.11 is likely to be the last version to support Python 2.7". Django 1.11 is planned to be released April 2017.
