    > We have not abandoned this project. The team has just been busy trying to address other pain points around the Python + SQL experience. If you want a sneak peek, check out the new Python SQL driver (in alpha): microsoft/mssql-python

    > That team will be looping back to this Django connector as soon as they can to add support for Django 5.2 (LTS). But to be transparent, I don't think that will happen until Q3, at the earliest.

    "It's not abandoned, we just don't have anyone working on it", is such nice PR double speak.

    Why would one choose MS SQL nowadays? I am curious, why did the author choose it?
