Upstream internals aiodrf reads

aiodrf patches nothing by default (runtime adaptations lists what it replaces when asked). It does read names that Django, DRF, asgiref and two optional packages do not promise. Each is listed here with what aiodrf does without it. aiodrf's tests check that each name exists, so a release that renames one is detected before aiodrf supports it.

The DRF functions whose steps aiodrf repeats are a separate ledger, kept in aiodrf's tests: a change to any of them in a new DRF release is detected, together with the aiodrf function to update.
