I don't know, but the simple fact that five years now have passed since
the last milestone release and it still isn't quite possible yet to do
the next one makes it seem to me as if things aren't yet quite so in
order as a proper 2.0 release normally would signify.

This is a very good question.

I think we have been *very* conservative with versions numbering and features. For instance, between 2011 and 2017 we have had 33 milestones and 2 RC before releasing a 1.0 for LDAP API. It was a bit quicker for 2.0, with only 4 milestones in 1 year.

The server is still in milestone mode since 2011, and we are targeting a M28 as we speak.

For Studio, we are in milestone mode since 2012.

Frankly, I think Lothar is just right: let's get the 2.0 out. It requires a bit of work since the LDAP API has evolved a bit since the last studio release, so is the server.

But frankly, as much as I think the server is not production ready (we still have to fix the data loss, and we need a working replication), Studio *is* fine (beside the TLS 1.3 issue in the latest version)

The biggest issue is to be able to cut this release, in a fast moving environment (Eclipse and Java).
