There are two principles of Ruby 2.0; in short,
* 2.0 is much different from 1.9.3
* 2.0 is not different from 1.9.3 so much

On latter one, 2.0 is one of 1.9.x series and we don't need neither ruby_1_9 branch and this thread.

So first of all we should decide what is the 2.0.
Current my understanding is, Ruby 2.0 is the one we release in 2012.

At RubyKaigi,  I was surprised to  hear Matz saying "there  will be no
1.9.4 because it becomes 2.0".

Question 1: are you kidding?  or seriously speaking?

Question 2:  do you have  plan(s) for making  1.9 branch just  like we
have  1.8 branch  now?  or  the  whole 1.9  series just  die when  2.0
development starts?

Question 3: who take care of the 2.0 branch? and who for 1.9 (if any)?
Currently yugui  is the mentor of  1.9 series.  Does she  shift to 2.0
mentor and new 1.9 person to appear, or she remains to 1.9 and new one
for 2.0?
