Hello, I would like to request a requirements freeze exception to bump the version of Django from 4.2.28 to 5.2.12. It is important for Horizon to ship with a version of Django that is security supported, and the security support for Django 4.2.8 ends next month. Django 5.2.12 is a long-term-support release, and will have security support for the next two years [1]. We have been working on making Horizon compatible with Django 5.2 in this release, but the disruption of the gates and the distractions caused by it in the last few weeks prevented us from getting the relevant patches merged on time for the freeze [2]. The patch for requirements is [3] [1] https://endoflife.date/django [2] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/horizon/+/973902 [3] https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/requirements/+/979862 -- Radomir Dopieralski
