It’s worth point out that there are still 131 issues without a Fix Version, many
of which could apply to 2.0

https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20PDFBOX%20AND%20resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20fixVersion%20%3D%20EMPTY%20ORDER%20BY%20priority%20DESC

We could perhaps try to add Affected + Fix versions for these issues too, until
then the picture is still incomplete.
