2 # 1.x version is no longer maintained by upstream
3 # 2.x is in the tree and is better in almost every way
4 # Removal in 90 days. Bug #650464

7 I feel proper mask and last-rite is needed because 2.x is a complete
8 rewrite in another language, full re-implementation of the client.
9 Give users a bit more time to migrate to 2.x.
10
11 A fork of 1.x exists[1] on life support mode with no intentions of
12 adding new functionality and will be retired in a year anyway.
13
14 Also one of 1.x plugins is vulnerable [2].
15
16 I see no reason keeping old version in the tree anymore.
