In addition to what I wrote in that post, it’s looking very likely that 1.6 will become the new LTS. Supporting 1.0 is starting to get fairly onerous for packages and for making new Julia releases to what is now a very old branch. In particular, the package manager has added enough new features that continuing to support both 1.0 and 1.6+ would be increasingly tricky.
