Hi Lewis, Thank you for bringing this up. I admit the reasoning and most of us ( including me ) have not been able to allocate time for the project as we used to do in early stages of the project. Personally for me I would like to see another release after 0.9 before we consider moving forward to the attic. There was so much work done on main after 0.9, while we never had the chance to include them in a release. Having said that, I would like to hear from other people from both PMC/Non PMC what their opinion on the direction of the project for the future.
