I believe 2.0 would be an occasion to do some clean up,
to throw away some compatibility issues when it makes sense to remove
unwanted features/API.

But at the same, I think 2.0 should not be so different from 1.9,
because we do not want another 1.8/1.9-like transition.

I realize I should probably not reply here, but the discussion is
somewhat hard to follow.
I like Motohiro's plan, except the "no incompatibility" rule.
