Joe / team, Question on this. I think it would be helpful to understand the desired timelines for the first 2.0.0 release. I know it's not strictly predictable, but having a sense of what the timing looks like is important to help understand the implications of a "maintenance only" 1.x line. The schedule would ideally come from the folks who are actively looking at / contributing to the 2.0 release. They probably have the best gauge as to "when" it might happen (under ideal conditions).
One of the risks, of course, is if the 2.0 release stalls or delays. Having an idea of how 1.x might evolve for the users who are not necessarily early-adopters or those that need longer support tails. If 2.0 is delayed and 1.x looks unmaintained, there's a potential chance for the project to lose a bit of credibility. I know we don't anticipate this scenario, but if we had a plan for it, that would be reassuring. Maybe this was already addressed, I apologize if so. But if not, can we throw some darts on the calendar to help understand the ideal rollout of 2.0 on a timeline? And are there any adjustments for the scenario described above?
