+# Develop TUF 1.0.0 in a subdirectory of the current TUF implementation
+
+* Status: accepted
+* Date: 2020-11-23
+
+Technical Story: https://github.com/theupdateframework/tuf/issues/1126
+
+## Context and Problem Statement
+
+The plan is to implement a refactored TUF (1.0.0) alongside the current
+code base, in order to not disrupt existing usage and keep providing
+a Python 2.7 client.
+
+We need to decide on the best place to do this development.
+
+## Decision Drivers
+
+* Developing the new code piecemeal
+* Continuing to make releases in the interim
+* Avoiding maintenance overhead
+
+## Considered Options
+
+Develop TUF 1.0.0:
+
+* In its own repository
+* In a separate development branch of the current TUF implementation
+* In the default branch, archiving the current implementation
+* In a subdirectory of the current TUF implementation
+
+## Decision Outcome
+
+Chosen option: "Develop TUF 1.0.0 in a subdirectory of the current TUF
+implementation", because we want to add the new TUF code gradually
+while keep maintaining the current implementation given limited
+maintenance resources.
+
+Once development of the new version is complete, we will transition
+from TUF 1.0.0 in a subdirectory to stand-alone TUF 1.0.0 by the following
+procedure:
+
+* flesh out tuf/api/*
+* implement tuf/client/new-updater.py
+* implement tuf/repository/*
+* \<iterate\>
+* git mv tuf/client/new-updater.py tuf/client/updater.py
+* git rm tuf/\*.py
+* tag 1.0.0
+
+## Pros and Cons of the Options
+
+Developing TUF 1.0.0 in a subdirectory of the current TUF
+implementation seems to have the least maintenance overhead compared to
+option 1 and 2, while allowing us to continue making releases with the
+old code unlike option 3.
+
+### Negative Consequences
+
+* In progress development in the default branch causes messiness
+  in plain sight.
