Hi,

Following and according to last weeks' discussions, it seems that the 
general consensus would be to retire 2.1 (too old to be maintained) and 
3.0 (too alpha to be maintained), and keep 2.x around for now.

If I try to summarize what have been said, refocusing on a single 
product would give the project a chance to 1) provide a clear upgrade 
path to existing 2.1 users and 2) gather renewed interest.
For the still many existing 2.1 users, this would give a clear signal 
that it's time to consider other options.

It's now time to formally vote:

[ ] +1 accept (retire and officially stop the maintenance of 2.1/3.0 
branches, only keeping 2.x)
[ ] -1 reject (explanation required)

A minimum of 3 binding +1 votes and more binding +1 than binding -1 are 
required to pass.
This vote will be open for at least 72 hours.

Best regards,
Cédric
