You can build your own 1.0 SDK version using the cerbero build tool btw.
It's not really a good idea to start new projects or write new plugins
based on 0.10.

And everyday that a GStreamer SDK 1.0 release is not put out (i.e. binaries by GStreamer.com) is another day of new users learning and using 0.10 instead of 1.0. There's not even a mention on the site that 1.0 exists, or that 0.10 is no longer being maintained. I think the site and what it provides is a great service, but it's simultaneously doing the community a disservice because of this. Sure, folks can make their own build thanks to cerbero, but that kind of defeats much of the purpose of GStreamer.com.

True, the GStreamer SDK is not part of the GStreamer project, but it is definitely related to the GStreamer team. Remember that the SDK is a product of Collabora and Fluendo. Let's look at the top 10 contributors (most commits in past 12 months) to GStreamer courtesy of Ohloh.net [1], and who their employer is, based on committing email address:

Wim Taymans (Collabora, co-founder)
Sebastian Dröge (Collabora since 2008)
Tim-Philipp Müller (Collabora)
Mark Nauwelaerts (Collabora)
Vincent Penquerc'h (Collabora)
Edward Hervey (Collabora)
Thibault Saunier (Collabora)
Stefan Sauer (Google, but seems to contribute as a hobby)
Reynaldo H. Verdejo Pinochet (Collabora)
Thiago Santos (Collabora)

Regardless, I think the initial statement is an accurate description of
the situation.
