All subsequent releases will focus on improvements and bug fixes. Not new features.

I would say v1.10 is quite close to this sentiment: a bunch of improvements and enhancements but nothing really major. The main new feature in v1.10 is "compiler tracing" but that will be directly used by a small subset of the community, to improve the tooling, instead of being something everyone would use from the get go.
I really love the years of work you’ve put into Elixir (and Phoenix as a framework).
Can’t say thank you enough.
thank you!
TL;DR - you can opt-out at any time.
