+1 from me. I've committed today a bunch of patches which were in 1.2 but not in 1.3 (just one last one to do) but haven't compared with 2.0
Having a release based on 1.3 would be great as it would be a nice transition towards 2.0 (delegate indexing/search, dependency management with Ivy, separation between local and remote deployment, removal of redondant plugins etc...).
