Mike I agree with the letter of the reading so this thread is to discuss the spirit of it and how to best apply it to our situation and community now. Whether it is 'just before' or 'just after' or 'same time' I think it is within the intent. I just want us to be clear what it is. It is extra work to ensure each PR is applied to both lines and extra work increases contributor and reviewer burden so we should be mindful of that as it is a dragging force. We also need to keep in mind that with 1.x we have Java 8 as a minimum and so there are cases which will not apply to both and we don't want folks to avoid using Java 8 features just so it can apply to both.
My preference is that we have 0.7 as the last planned feature release in 0.x and with that in mind we need to choose to have it be a bit before, a bit after, or at the same time as the 1.x release. I personally am comfortable with what I proposed for 0.7 vs 1.0 timing but I am fine if the consensus is to release the last 0.x and 1.0 at the same time. Just hoping to avoid needing to have another feature release on 0.x after 0.7 other than some special request that might come up later (which is also discussed in the support doc). I also agree the release process for 1.0 will be significant as it will include important new features. Definitely need folks testing out and providing feedback on the features early and often.
