Next release will be OpenSBI v1.0 (having SBI v0.3 implementation) and
we can target this sometime in Nov 2021.

We wanted to make SBI v0.3 fully stable for existing boards (particularly
SiFive unmatched) before releasing OpenSBI hence the delay. We are
almost there with few pending changes for SBI PMU and reset driver
improvements.

Post OpenSBI v1.0 release, we want to have more predictable release
cycles (which we will document as well). I would like to have a release
cycle which is realistic and agreed by most people over here.

Thoughts or Suggestions ??

Regards,
Anup
