I believe from memory Django decided to move to using Black back in 2019 [0] but delayed the change until Black exited Beta. Black became none beta at the end of January [1].

This was finally merged to the main branch today [2].

I suspect there are lots of other both open source and private projects that are also making the change now. This is a show of confidence in Black as the standard code formatter for Python.

This is right. Black emerging from beta was discussed on the Django mailing list in the last week or so, and triggered the work.
