Currently my greatest concern is the inability of Julia to provide stability even after they've reached 1.0. On paper 1.0 is a LTS release and still supported, but how many packages actually support it anymore? There seems to be no guidelines either, the official stance is that "we move on and drop LTS when the package developers move on."

99%? You won't get the most recent versions because a lot of packages started requiring v1.3 when the new AD and multhreading mechanisms came out, but you can still boot up the LTS and run any standard analysis that existed back when 1.0 was around, which is something like 3000+ packages. Where is your FUD coming from?
