Yes, I considered adding pyupgrade to do my previous PR, but consciously chose not to as I thought it would introduce more churn than what I was aiming for, but to be honest I was expecting a bigger diff than that. I assume that disabling percent-formt to f-string is helping a lot.

... in my experience, pyupgrade and django-upgrade helps a lot to minimize the maintenance efforts

It could indeed help us cleanup old branches from #9681 as the project drops support for old versions, so might pay off in the long run

@browniebroke Removing the --keep-percent-format arg creates an additional diff of 24 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-); which I still think it's not that big but feels more churn-y. Having all changes handled in a single commit is another option.

I wanted to go with minimal changes to be safer but we can use it without excluding any rules.

Yes I agree, that makes sense to keep changes to a minimum 👍
