Erik,
My fear is that by binding yourself to the definition "absolutely clear to 
everyone" you will never be able to stop maintaining Rails 1.x.
You are handing out veto rights freely...  ;-)
Maybe should stop maintaining if you are yourself convinced of your condition, 
which will still very difficult to achieve.
I have and had no intention to maneuver you into a dead-end and it would be a 
pity is this happens. So if there is anything i can do (better) to avoid that, 
please let me know.
