Hi Benjamin, Thanks for bringing it up. I support the idea. I saw more activity from new contributors lately, also Google Summer of Code is around the corner. Plus I feel it gives a very positive signal about the state of the project. The amount of tickets before GA is really quite low. CI is almost green, I almost haven’t seen a test failure because of product problem but mostly tests issues. We are so close, it is very exciting time for this project. Best regards, Ekaterina
