28552	Drop support for MySQL 5.5	Tim Graham	nobody	"The end of upstream support for MySQL 5.5 is December 2018. Django 1.11 will be supported until April 2020 which is well past the EOL date. We don't have MySQL 5.5 running on our continuous integration servers which makes providing official support difficult.
