I’ve cut 1.0.1 at least by myself last year, and definitely not regret it while not hearing complains on the matter. 1.0.2 being a LTS matters more in the likeliness to see complaints, but I think it’s time to just let it go. So let’s do it and move on.

I’d seriously consider 1.1.0 as well for this release cycle as something to drop but I’m ok to keep it as the code gains are not really here. The 1.0.2 cut removes a lot of code and concepts particularly with the libcrypto threading and its locks!
