No one is talking about switching off the lights to ROS1 until 2023. The idea is to get 99% of the developers moved well before then.
I agree with @adamd:
[quote="adamd, post:6, topic:6155"]
If you already have an inflight or working ROS1 application it can, and probably should stay on ROS1 until that application has exhausted its useful lifecycle. Any new or next generation of that application should be targeted to be built on ROS2 and getting the libraries there to support it.
If we agree on that as the approach then the question would be: is 2023 enough time to have LTS support on your current robotics project/application and can the community start to move forward with building bridges, tools and porting libraries as you described?

Declaring Melodic the last ROS1 LTS allows Open Robotics to focus their very limited resources on getting ROS2 to feature complete (Actions, etc) and production quality over the next few releases rather than splitting those resources across projects. Making Melodic the last ROS1 release doesn't kill ROS now, it kills it in 2023
