[asdf-devel] ASDF 2.0 and beyond.

[Faré]

Dear all,

I think time has come to declare ASDF 2.0 in beta-test, and focus on
releasing it before we get more features into it.

If there are any bug fixes or improvements you think should definitely
be in 2.0, please open a bug in launchpad and tag them as such
(milestone: version 2), or otherwise make it prominent in your message
on this mailing-list.

I'd like to declare 2.0 frozen by the end of April 2010, and released
by the end of May 2010.

PS: after 2.0 is out, I'd like to resign from ASDF maintainership, to
focus on XCVB (help welcome on that, too). Is anyone volunteering to
replace me on ASDF?

Juanjo and janderson both have had very good ideas, although in both
cases, I think that there's a gap from the good idea to something that
can be released as part of the build tool that everyone will use.
Maybe we should start alternative branches on the git tree?
