I have no problem with dropping support for S1. :-) Question on the fourth version point: I don't think the four points plays all that nicely with maven. They are strictly 3 with anything else being a lexicographic ordering. I know we created the 4th point for emergency patch releases, but in practice, how is it any different than an emergency maintenance release? I don't see a need for the 4th specifier anymore.
