We are not even close to what I think 2.1 should be about. I would be in
favor of an 'alpha' release, meaning that we don't make any effort
whatsoever for API back compatibility between 2.1 releases until we go
final (as the WARNING states clearly today), but a beta means that we
are happy with the interfaces we have and I'm not.

This is a big one. I would like more info to evaluate this.

Cool.

But would slow us down in development and since we need to develop
rather than to do bugfixes, I don't like this.
My issues are:
1) the flowmap/sitemap connection semantics are bad. I don't like them.
We need to do something more aggressive on this realm. NOTE: we'll have
to change the version of the sitemap namespace in 2.1, but still be back
compatible with 2.0.x
2) finish the design of blocks
Thursday I spent a day with Giacomo talking about the above two points
(I did consulting in Zurich this week). I'll write extensive RT tomorrow
or the next day about what we achieved.
I'm happy to state that we were finally able to provide a solution for
all the problems with had on the table, expecially about sitemap/flowmap
integration and about block polymorphism.
I don't want to enter beta state until we have finished discussing such
important design issues.
Hope you understand my points.
