To be honest, I think releasing it as a 2.0 would be good because I still see comments from people using 1.8.X because the 2.0 line is marked beta. I know here at IHG, a lot of people are still using 25 or 26 on some projects. I think there are enough important fixes in the the new version that encouraging people to upgrade is a good idea.
