Can we have a status page on the Julia site that shows a list of critical packages (e.g. ones that receive many stars on GitHub) and if they are ready for 1.0?
Currently we are in a blinded situation that nobody knows what works and it becomes a trial and error exercise. Not great for newbies either.
The 1.0 download page should have a link to this status page. We could just say that the language runtime is ready but many packages in the ecosystem still need time to upgrade.
