This implies forking CF. I don't see the need to do that. If we did make a major backward-incompatible change to CF, I agree that it would be logical to call it CF2.x, and subsequent development would be based on it, but I don't see why EarthCube proposals like Ben's shouldn't be accommodated in CF1.x.
