Unfortunately, we're still in the process of figuring out how to do this exactly, so not everything will be perfect on the first attempt. In the current situation, master would break every now and then, and require changes to bots. This was typically not planned, but it did mean that blindly 'git pull'ing always was a bad idea. The idea for versioning is the following. When 2.0 is released, only bug fixes will be backported, so it's completely safe to update to the latest 2.0.x. More major changes would end up in 2.1, and really bit changes (e.g. the removal of deprecated compat wrappers) would become 3.0. In this specific situation, I think it might be advisable to actually have this change in 2.1, not in 2.0. Then current users can switch to the 2.0 branch safely, and we can work on 2.1 without worrying about changes such as these.
