I know everyone is excited about 2.0, but we're in no danger of slipping perpetually. We have a concrete, minimal list of features we plan on including. We should take as much time as is necessary to polish and document those features because it goes without saying, we will be stuck with them indefinitely. We need to build some real extensions on top of the new features before I'll be comfortable rubber stamping them. For example, I'd like to see a scope validator and maybe even an update to our Eclipse plugin. As for the version number, this feels like a 2.0 to me. Finally, I think I should take on hierarchical injectors. This is sticky territory. To those who are afraid the feature will be confusing, we could only expose hierarchical injectors through the SPI. For example, instead of creating a child injector through Guice.createInjector(), you could call com.google.inject.spi.HierarchicalInjectors.create(Injector parent, ...).
