the one area where I expect changes before a release are the way shaders
are composed/overridden, which may have some how state/state changes are
handled.

I think of the big things only the VolRen support is missing in 2.0,
cluster and multithreading are definitely ported and working. With all
the attention the ref counting got it should actually be better.

I've not ported any large applications, only small ones. Perhaps others
have experience they can share?

The group here at UL Lafayette uses it for our demos and applications we
develop and I think Gerrit does the same in Singapore. All development
effort goes into 2 these days and personally I find it increasingly
difficult to debug the details of 1.x, just because I'm not that
familiar with it anymore.
