I understood the comments given by Matz, that the development of 2.0 
didn't start yet. The official release software "Ruby 1.9.n" (n>=1) will 
contain features, that go into the direction of "Ruby 2".

During the last months I played a little bit with the nightly builds of 
Ruby 1.9, and I did some planned tests, because I'm really waiting for 
the m17n features, that will be in the kernel of Ruby 1.9. I think it is 
a good idea to have a stable Ruby 1.9 for a while, because the 
discussions about future enhancements in respect to Ruby 2 will have a 
practical background when Ruby 1.9 is in use for a while.

I hope we will have a Ruby 1.9.2 or 1.9.3, that will be stable enough 
for all usage scenarios, and that will be available in system 
distributions and as OneClickInstaller version for Windows.

Then we do have time for Ruby 2.
