In new virtualenv, install requirement, then try updating with pip. Django's instructions suggest using pip install -U Django, but I'm not sure if this will update to latest available, or latest LTS. We want the later. Either way, we should see Django minor version increase here. May need to explicitly bump Django version to 1.11 and then run install again.
Test the app manually using this approach. Make sure all pages load, run discovery (with -Wall option mentioned in documentation above), verify in browser, send notifications (make sure I am only subscriber in DB before doing so). Hopefully no deprecation warnings anywhere in there.
