Hey Joe, Definitely a +1 to get a M1 release ASAP. I'd still recommend waiting on the flow.xml removal work to be merged. The reason being that users may give useful feedback when they'll try NiFi 2.0 with existing flows coming from NiFi 1.x and getting rid of all of the XML based stuff. There is also a PR coming soon for the frontend work of the templates removal. Hopefully both can be completed this week or next week.
