Just 5c: I don't concur with the new wording: linkerd2 is not a replacement for linkerd1.
We use nomad and aurora clusters for example, something that linkerd2 does not support with its focus on kubernetes.
I'm quite sad to see linkerd1 and namerd development stall... we are using it everywhere in our environment and are really happy with its stability and flexibility.

Thanks for the feedback @peterfroehlich. I also love Linkerd 1.x and am glad to hear it continues to work for you.

I'm open to suggestions for better wording. The original maintainers of 1.x are now all working on 2.x, or on other things, and the change is meant to reflect that. Leaving the page as is also doesn't feel right, as there are currently no active maintainers.

(Also, I would love to add some 1.x maintainers if you are interested in having that discussion.)

How about this?

Suggested change

	Its fully featured with powerful load balancing algorithms, failure handling, instrumentation,
	distributed tracing and dynamic request routing.
	It also offers a stand-alone version of the service discovery components called Namerd,
	which enables a scalable architecture with centralised namers and a simple api for adaptation
	to other load balancing systems.

This is a nice description, just a bit of punctuation that is missing:

Linkerd is fully featured with powerful load balancing algorithms, failure handling, instrumentation, 
distributed tracing, and dynamic request routing.
It also offers a stand-alone version of the service discovery components, called Namerd, 
which enables a scalable architecture with centralised "namers" and a simple api for adaptation 
to other load balancing systems.

I've submitted a review, tried to move k8 user to linkerd2 without scaring away other parties.

I don't have experience in that role, but my team at work has multiple Maintainers of OSS projects. I'll discuss with them and come back to you.

Did a little more wordsmithing to clarify what this repo is currently used for.
