Before bumping to 2.0 directly, I'd suggest to go through at least one
phase of release candidate. The release candidate is pushed to vendors
(hopefully they will adopt even though it's called release candidate),
the difference is that all newly introduced APIs are marked as
"Experimental" until the actual 2.0 release. So the API is time-tested
for a few months.
