Currently Django and DRF are hard dependencies and used under the hood for:

• Authorization - to be implemented within winter_security, removed from the framework for now.
• WSGI adapter - we'll consider starlette and uvicorn instead.
• static files handling (starlette)
• HTTP sessions (starlette)
• forms handling
• built-in caching mechanism
• management commands
• HTTP request/response - to be implemented in winter_http to abstract away from the specific underlying technology.
• gettext translations
• middleware - to be replaced with interceptors
• configuration via settings.py - replace with injector and profiles
• drf_yasg as a base for openapi generation - replaced with openapi-schema-pydantic
• 500 handler (set_default_handler)
