Related to #11806 & #7466

@tagur87 as this has already been discussed under #7466 and abandoned, re-opening the issue will require an owner. Are you willing to commit to doing this work?

You mentioned originally:

I'm going to close this out both because no work has been done and because it will likely become moot per #9856.

However this never actually went through.

I don't have any ideas of where to start on this. Not sure why the difference? Is it b/c of different libraries used?

Ahh, I actually see that django-strawberry issue got reopened....

[jeremystretch]

Yeah, the intent currently is to replace django-graphene with django-strawberry in v4.0, although work has not yet begun on that initiative.

[jeremystretch]

As this has already been raised and will likely be moot upon adopting django-strawberry, I'm going to close this out.
