1.0.1 should definitely be supported in AppDB and bugzilla. The whole
idea of making a stable release is that it's something that should last
for a while, be included in distros, and provide a base state that
people can rely on. So we have to continue to support it, even if it's
not being actively developed.

There's no point in making stable releases if we decide that they are
useless after 6 months (and no, the answer is not to make more frequent
stable releases; even if we did one every 3 months we'd still have to
support the old ones).
