from Jacob in [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-
developers/oGmD8LvLTPg django-developers]:
This, for me, is the key: anything that's not a WSGI container is
basically the wrong way to serve Django. Full stop. By continuing to
include these other weird protocols we're implying that they're fully
supported when they're actually totally not. Back in the day, we needed
FCGI support because the options for hosting Python stuff was super
limited. Today, there are a ton of options, even in the ultra-low-cost
category.
Let's start FCGI (and the others) down the path to deprecation. If
there's truly a community that finds value in these things -- and frankly
I think that once they try modern options they'll quickly switch and never
look back -- then let them maintain the code.

Comment (by apollo13):
Even if we drop FCGI support in Django, the docs should make clear that
you can still use it…; eg have a small page describing it like this: http
://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Options.html#fastcgi-socket and
offer http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/Options.html#fastcgi-
socket as a runfcgi replacement.

I don't know enough about using FastCGI via uWSGI to write a how-to. If
someone else is interested in writing something, I'm happy to review it.
