I imagine in the coming months that there will be quite a reckoning when it comes to projects depending on asyncdispatch. I haven't tested them on 2.0.0 yet, but last time I checked, things running on Jester and Prologue crash under ORC. We shall see. I'm hopeful that the bugs get ironed out quick now that it's the default, though.
