I think it is too late for that now.
As a packager, I have (tried) to ensure that my packages in Stretch are
100% compatable with Django 1.10.
I can not make any similar assurances about Django 1.8 compatability.
I suspect there will be no problems - many upstreams - although not all
- have CI tests that cover 1.8 compatability. Checking each and every
package will require time, and, and we don't exactly have time right now
in this stage of the freeze.
If there any no CI tests, or CI tests that have poor coverage, I think
it is really easy to slip in Django 1.10 specific stuff without
noticing. Or not notice that you broke that Django 1.8 specific
statement.
