Looking at the release date of 1.0.2 (22 Jan 2015) that seems to
be (very slightly) less than the "at least five years" you promise in
your release strategy. ;-)

Not a big problem, but with the current state, it effectively blurs the
distinction between the non-LTS release (1.0.1, being supported
for 4 years and 9 months) and the LTS release (1.0.2 being supported for
4 years and eleven months). 

And no, this isn't meant to be complaint about 1.0.1 being
supported for "too long". ;-)

        Regards,
                  Stefan
