GSN and user signatures

Sorry if I caused an alarm @ethicraul. There is nothing to be concerned about: we will keep providing support for our GSN tools, which correspond to the currently deployed network (V1). What we are not doing is implementing new features, as we are focusing on other tools at the moment - we will publish our other roadmaps soon, but the gist is that we will be working on frictionless upgrades as presented on this post at least until March.

Now, regarding GSN v2. OpenEth is leading the development of this new iteration, which will require breaking changes and the deployment of a new network (ie new Hub and potentially new relayers). Once these changes are solidified (pun not intended), we will evaluate integrating them into our tools and libraries.

At first glance and based on Alex's comments, the changes seem easy to implement (slightly different signature on recipient contracts, separation of interface, new signing methods on the client), so we should be able to support it; but we cannot commit to a concrete timeline until we have a full understanding of the scope of these changes.

Hope this helps!
