Specifically I'd like to gauge the extent to which it's being used. So far cherry-picking fixes to it has been pretty easy, but it's an extra task to keep up with, and the cherry-picking is probably going to turn into active backporting somewhere in the near future as the rs-1.0 and master branches continue to diverge. If I don't hear back that there's significant use of the 1.0.x releases by multiple projects, I'll probably plan to discontinue them in the next 4 to 6 months, and in the mean time, to release only when there are serious bugs (as opposed to releasing alongside every 1.1.x release). Does this sound reasonable? If anyone's using 1.0.x not for the sake of stability but because it works better in some way for your setup (e.g. size, performance, application compatibility, etc.) please let me know about that too so we can see if there's a reasonable way to make 1.1.x work just as well for you.
