None.

Nobody pays for D1 support...

I did use one of package managers on my Linux distro and one day the
following appeared in the forums: "Hello xyz users. I just wanted you to
know I am not going to work on foobar anymore...If you like foobar and
want to keep it going start hacking on it..."

Iow, there was no 1-year-ahead announcement...and reaction from people
were like: "Thanks for the heads-up and thanks for all the great work
:-)"

So, let's leave people to work on that which they like to work on and
that has future.


Sincerely,
Gour
