Comment (by claudep):

I'm not so enthusiast about dropping it now. It's still in use by many
stable distros, hopefully not any longer when 1.9 will be released, but
still... What about dropping it in Django 2.0?

Comment (by timgraham):

If you think it's still providing value, I'm not in a rush, but I raised
the issue because Daniel said his
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/4339 raster work] requires PostGIS
2.0. We'll just have to add a feature flag for that.

Comment (by claudep):

You could ask on the Geodjango ML if withdrawal of PostGIS 1.5 from Django
1.9 would hurt anyone.

Comment:

[https://groups.google.com/d/topic/geodjango/E2ZWIKeq24c/discussion No
replies in 7 days] although the post has 7 views according to Google
groups. Should we try any harder to get feedback? I think we should be
somewhat free to drop older technologies, particularly since 1.8 is LTS.

We are talking about dropping it for 1.9, not 1.8, right? I would be
strongly -1 to drop it in 1.8.

Comment (by aaugustin):

Yes, we're talking about dropping it from 1.9. The impact on users is
lessened because 1.8 is LTS.

Comment:

Patch looks good per Claude, but I'm going to try to put together
something like a docker config to ease testing on newer versions of
PostGIS since Claude's system (Debian stable) includes 1.5 and he is our
main contributor.
