+Loading ``ssi`` and ``url`` template tags from ``future`` library
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Django 1.3 introduced ``{% load ssi from future %}`` and
+``{% load url from future %}`` syntax for forward compatibility of the
+:ttag:`ssi` and :ttag:`url` template tags. This syntax is now deprecated and
+will be removed in Django 1.9. You can simply remove the
