Drop Django 1.7 And Support Django 1.9
Summary
=======
Django 1.7 will be deprecated during the Mitaka cycle. There are many uses of deprecated code that can now be removed, or old styles that can be updated. These deprecations will be removed in Django 1.9, so we can support it at the same time.
Motivation
========
We should continue to support current versions of Django, to be eligible for new features and security updates.
Description
=========
This field should contain a detailed description of the feature to be added.
UX
