I can't donate any of my time over the next few weeks due to a family emergency. Hopefully I'll be back in the 3-4 weeks time.

I'd like to merge the research branch back to HEAD so that the latest and greatest code is appearing in the nightly builds and so that the website starts to reflect an upcoming 2.0 release. It would also mean that the 1.0 patches I applied last night would appear in the right place.
The only delaying factor here would be if people think we need another v1 release before deprecating the 1.0 code, in which case we'd probably want to create another branch pronto and put 1.x changes there. I'm still fairly sure that this isn't a great idea but people still have time to lobby.
There's only one more api change that I'd like to make before releasing which is to promote a few methods from implementatins to interfaces:
Option.isRequired()
Parent.getMinimum()
Parent.getMaximum()
Group.getMinimum()
Group.getMaximum()
These are needed purely to implement a new entry in Comparators to allow a solution to #26926 to be offered in cli2 terms. This should be low impact and should be in cvs before the weekend.
From there it's just a case of branching and tagging for a beta and release. That and user docs.
If these things are all acceptable then I'll aim to propose a beta release for May 3rd, with weekly drumbeat releases until we're happy enough for a 2.0 final (with luck May 10th).
Hope that wasn't too disjoint.
Thoughts / Gotchas / etc?
