I totally agree.
Imagine you will have to backport stuff from asterisk 15.0
to 1.0.X
This will take lik 3 or 4 developers in full time.
Every project has releases that become too old to
support/maintain. As long as the 1.2 is maintained till 1.6
is there I think we are using the right method/timeschedule
for things
