Hi folks! Over on dev@hbase we're discussing EOM for HBase 1.7.z and 1.y generally.
Our rate of contributions to HBase 1.y has slowed considerably over the last year, as have releases. If you are a current user of HBase 1 and you would like to see continued releases, please subscribe to the dev@hbase list and join in the discussion there about what it will take to keep releases happening. The specific thread has the subject "[DISCUSS] EOM 1.7 and branch-1? (proposal: 2022/07/21)" it is linked here on lists.a.o: https://lists.apache.org/thread/8qy2lqtdwzc10tqnfdhrqvo35z6vkrvk
