Deprecation of Oak 1.2.x plan

Hi there,

I'm planning to officially end-of-life Jackrabbit Oak 1.2 next week (see
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9349>):

Users of 1.2 who can move to Java 8 should switch to the latest stable
release (currently 1.38.0).

Users of 1.2 who can move to Java 7 can switch to Oak 1.6.20, with the
caveat that this branch will require Java 8 with the next release (1.6.21).

In general, users of 1.2 are encouraged to switch to a platform
compatible with Java 8 (or newer).

What it'll mean in actual actions:

     links will be removed from the download page
     news will be posted on the homepage
     [announce] will be sent to jr-user, jr-dev, oak-dev
     branch and tags WILL stay there

If you have any concerns speak out before next week Tuesday.

Best regards, Julian
