Hi, is there any possibility of back-porting this to Django 5.2? I was looking to move our project to Python 3.14 and was surprised to discover that --parallel tests were no longer running in parallel when I made that change.

No, it's a new feature in 6.0, and there are some edge cases we're still investigating in #36770, so it's not stable enough to backport to an LTS anyway, IMO. You can change your multiprocessing mode if you really need it.
