Tim does an amazing job applying "Build to Last" principles to Django. Community and reliability are two of the three most important reasons making me enjoy Django for a very long time (documentation being the third). I think it is healthy for any project to know what its distinguishing attributes are, as well as having a plan for where the project will go the next few years. And while I agree with Tim, I want to add a bit more to the big hairy audacious list of goals to take into consideration.
