Hey all,

This is an old roadmap and does not really reflect the state of the provider, with v1.0.0 coming up. We will be reviewing how we want to communicate this kind of information in the future, but for now, the best way to check what upcoming plans are would be to ask a question in the issue tracker, or watch the CHANGELOG.

With that, I'm closing this one out.

Thanks!
