Looks really good to me! I'm just made a couple of very minor comments inline at: https://github.com/django/django/pull/58/files

As a general comment, I think it might be worth adding a small paragraph at the beginning of that page explaining how the deprecation process works in Django (e.g. what the word "deprecation" means in this context; quiet vs. loud deprecation warnings, etc.). What do you think?

Looks great, thanks for your work on this! I also reviewed and made some inline comments on the pull request.

Julien, I think that more general information about the deprecation process is already present in the release-process documentation, and that's linked from the top of the deprecation timeline. Seems adequate that way to me?

Patch needs improvement: unset

updated pull request with inline comments, thanks guys.

RE deprecation process, I think only thing missing is a short mention that the process will be accelerated in rare cases, or for security reasons, but such clarification is not critical.

ready for additional review or checkin

Added three or four more minor notes, but this is almost ready IMO.
