Drop support for 1.x.y releases (EoL stable-1 branch)?

[felixfontein]

SUMMARY

We are currenly releasing 3.x.y releases, and we're still backporting fixes to 2.x.y and 1.x.y. 2.0.0 has been released in October 2021, and I'm not sure whether anyone is still using 1.x.y. (I haven't seen any bug reports for it.)

What do you think about declaring stable-1 End of Life and stop updating it (and removing it from the weekly CI)? If you don't think it should be done soon, when do you think it's time for it?

As a general policy: how about 'supporting' only the latest two branches (i.e. main and the latest stable-x) and making all other stable branches EOL? That would mean that stable-2 would become EOL once stable-3 is created and 4.0.0 released, etc.

[felixfontein]

I guess everyone seems to be happy with making stable-1 EOL, then. I'll implement that soon.

#572 implements this (resp. the first part).

1.10.15 has been released, everything removed. Thanks everyone!
