Are there any organized efforts to fork the 1.x branch to sustain existing applications?

  Prob not from Google/Angular themselves. Maybe someone will be willing to maintain a 1.x branch for support $ ala what some people did for Rails 2.9.2+

  Not so much to fork, but Angular 1.x is continuing to be developed and Pete Bacon Darwin has taken over as the technical lead: https://plus.google.com/+IgorMinar/posts/2Uo6yh4AV7L https://plus.google.com/+IgorMinar/posts/2Uo6yh4AV7L Angular 1.4 is well underway and there's a lot of good stuff coming out of it, for example the reworked router module.

    FYI the new router module (https://github.com/angular/router https://github.com/angular/router) is going to be a separate project, with semver'ed releases. It'll expose bindings for both Angular 1.x and Angular 2, but it isn't bound to the Angular release cycle. Here's a presentation from ng-conf today about the new router: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vecg70fPDFw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vecg70fPDFw

  The official word[1] from the Angular team now is that they will support it as long as there is still a significant number of companies using it - it will be longer than the original 1.5 years after the release of 2.0 mentioned. [1] Mentioned in the ng-conf keynote IIRC, but this was also told to me directly by one of the Angular core team members when I spoke with him today.
