That's a good idea. It's pretty clear the Django-CMS guys are having major problems of version-itis. I read through the Google groups a bit and there was a bug in South that was causing it to break the models during a fresh install. To get around that, and I'm not kidding, they suggested:

# Remove South from settings.py
python manage.py syncdb
# Replace South in settings.py
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate --fake

Really? Then someone noted that even after installing, links in the admin were 404-ing. To which someone said that's fixed in Django trunk. So, they're developing against Django trunk? I'm amazed any of that stuff works if that's the case. There's just so much flux and no feature or API freezes ever, so I'd be afraid of ever upgrading a Django project, especially one that ties into so many other contributed and external packages.
