Hi everyone,
Did we get consensus on this?
I think it is important to maintain a 3.x branch since existing users would
require time to upgrade and it may not be possible for all users to upgrade
to rdf4j.
I agree maintaining separate version lines will add more overhead to the
project, but I feel it is necessary since some contributors may not be able
to use 4.0+ branches due to rdf4j.
If I don't hear any naysayers, I will pull in the pom updates Kevin
suggested and create a 3.x branch for future development for legacy users.
