well... since allowing lowercase class names does not exactly qualify as 
"bugfix", I would say it will not be there in 2.0. 
The idea is that the trunk development moves each year (with each version) and 
older version becomes just bugfix supported. Otherwise we will be 
ever-maintaining older versions, something that not even apple does (with all 
the capacity they have).
So I would vote also "no" :)
