Do we have plan to do a patch release for OpenDistro?

1. What's the plan to deprecate OpenDistro.
2. Do we have plan to do patch release for OpenDistro plugins? I think there're still people using them.

Is this repo the right place to put this type of issue?

Thats a good question.
Let me flip the question back in different way.

• Why do you want to have a patch release for Open Distro?
• Do you see any critical changes which have to go out?

The right place to ask this is probably the forum.

I believe we only plan OpenDistro security patches, @stockholmux can you please confirm?

[stockholmux]

@zhongnansu I think the plan going forward for Open Distro is to only patch critical security issues. Think of it being put into maintenance mode.

This needs to be an FAQ. Moving to project-website.

@dblock We're likely to have more updates on this subject later this week, maybe next. I'll hold until then.
