Dolphin 6.1 development, support, fixing and improvement will go on. You can safely assume that 6.1 will be around for about a year from now. With due fixes and improvements.

We are not dropping Dolphin 6.

Just look at Extensions at Expertzzz and Unity and you'd immediately realize why Dolphin 6 should stay around no matter what. And while we're talking - Dolphin team is working on the next patch.

I totally understand your concern and do care about finishing 6.1, so there's nothing to worry see more about. It's not that much about Dolphin, really, it's a lot more than that.
