PRs and Issues
- Old ones (suggested for discussion by Daniel Bluhm):
  - https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/issues/1042 - https message type prefix
  - https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-cloudagent-python/issues/1044 - updated media types
  - Yes! Need to decide exactly the behaviour to change.
    - Document what is there today.
    - Decide what will be the new behaviour – simply drop the old style or add a flag that defaults but allows the old style? Hopefully no new flag...
    - The existing flag should continue to be accepted, I think, although we could drop it as well.
- What would LTS (Long Term Support) support mean for ACA-Py?
  - Get to a 1.0 version? E.g. AIP 2.0? Getting close...
  - Pick an LTS version of Python (and other dependencies?)
  - Pick an OS to run on
  - Monitor dependencies and update them on a branch
  - Cherry pick ACA-Py PRs suitable for LTS
