Correct.

Minor quibble: 0.10 is older than 0.9.1. I know, it looks like it 
shouldn't be :-)

We are definitely not going to support 0.10. It's similar to neither 
0.9.1 nor 1.0, and the only other product that supports it is Qpid, and 
AFAICS they are moving away from it towards 1.0. So it feels like a dead 
end.

We might support 1.0 in the future, largely depending on how much demand 
for it materialises. It's worth bearing in mind that 1.0 is a very 
different beast from 0.9.1, with very different goals, so it's not the 
obvious upgrade from 0.9.1 that it sounds like.

If we do support it, we will treat it as essentially another protocol in 
the same vein as STOMP and MQTT. So AMQP 0.9.1 support is not going away 
any time soon.

Cheers, Simon
