   > 1.1.x ?
   
   So if you are referring to code that is dealing with translating from Akka 
to Pekko (i.e. rolling release upgrades) I do earnestly think this should only 
sit in 1.0.x branch, the main reason being is that once 1.0.x is released I 
envisage that our `main` branch will be the `1.1.x` release branch and I 
believe there is merit in keeping that branch clean.
   
   Furthermore, over time the `1.1.x` branch will divert from mainstream Akka 
and having such functionality in the 1.1.x branch can give the misleading 
impression that you can do a roll over upgrade from Akka to Pekko 1.1.x which I 
don't think is desirable because we are then going to be shooting yourselves in 
the foot (both technically speaking in making sure that such upgrades still 
work and even legally).
   
   In short, if we are only going to guarantee migrating from Akka to Pekko 
1.0.x (which I think is sensible) then these compatibility features (i.e. 
handling any wire incompatibilities, custom code to translate from configs) 
should only sit in 1.0.x branch. This to me is a good compromise, people 
currently running Akka clusters can migrate to Akka, i.e. Akka (current 
version) -> Akka 2.6 (if neccessary) -> Pekko 1.0.x -> change current Akka 
config to Pekko config -> upgrade to Pekko 1.1.x while at the same time we can 
keep our `main` branch free of any Akka compatibility code cruft.
