I think that what most of us expected to happen to D1 when official support was 
discontinued would be that no more work would occur on the D1 branch in the 
official repository at all, and all bugs in bugzilla for D1 would be closed as 
"won't fix." Anyone would be free to branch from the official repository and 
continue the project, but nothing in the official repository or bug tracker 
would do anything with D1 anymore. The only way that work on D1 would continue 
would be if someone else took it over the project and used their own fork to 
continue it. Pretty much anything short of that makes it seem like D1 is still 
supported. But apparently, you weren't thinking that way, and there's clearly 
been a misunderstanding as to what not supporting D1 meant.
