Getting ready for Django 1.7

[andybak]

There's only 1 migration in the DRF codebase but it will need to either be removed or updated for Django 1.7.

Looks like South 2 is a way off being finished so until then it's not clear how best to handle migrations in a way that will work for Django 1.7 and earlier versions.

This won't be done because of backward compatibility.
I'll try to find some time and bring that topic during the DjangoCon Europe sprints.

So... can we use DRF with 1.7 or is this 1 migration a blocker?

[xordoquy]

@rapilabs you can use DRF with Django 1.7 unless you use authtoken.

It is possible to support both south migrations and the new 1.7 migrations, see http://treyhunner.com/2014/03/migrating-to-django-1-dot-7/

@dekkers I am aware of this. If someone can come up with a pull request for this I'll consider merging it after I'm sure it doesn't break things.

@xordoquy For a project that doesn't require backwards compatability, but does require authtoken, is it possible to somehow workaround this issue, other than forking and patching the migration myself?

Closed in favor of #1653
