It sounds like it's time to focus our efforts on 2.x.

My recommendation:

Let's create a new public branch for doing 1.x maintenance work. Any
bugfixes for the next few 1.x releases can go here and, if applicable,
be merged or cherry-picked to master.

This will allow us to use master for 2.x (and beyond).
