I believe that our experiences with 2.0 development (and recent 1.3
maintenance) are indicative of what is going to happen with
2.0-stable, or at least much more so than any experiences from several
years ago.

Obviously the interpretation of that experience is subject to debate :)

Everybody has their own vision and we have to find the greatest
commonality to decide how to work.  Here are some aspects of mine:

. 1.3 maintenance needs to be a bit healthier...  more involvement of
  people when somebody wants to fix something...  right now it can be
  hard   to get anybody to give a shit when you want to fix
  something...

. 2.0-stable maintenance along the lines of 1.3, but I think that
  fixing things in 2.0-stable is much more important than fixing
  things in 1.3..  2.0-stable maintenance right now is for the
  relatively few who try 2.x before the hoped-for avalanche, and
  fixing their problems is going to prevent a world of hurt later on
  (1.3 clearly works well-enough for almost anybody)

. 2.1...  just like what has happened with 2.0 thus far...

This has nothing to do with C-T-R vs. R-T-C; that is just a choice of
which crude tool can best be used to achieve a goal.  

One of the useful properties of R-T-C is that if you don't have enough
interest to keep a tree maintained in a healthy manner it becomes
painfully obvious almost immediately.
