I still don't think that we need a big plan for this... The change from 1.7 to 2.0 was also rather arbitrary, wasn't it? Anyway, I've now started a Wiki page to collect ideas: https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Version3.0 Maybe we can jump to version 3.0 if there are enough doable items on the list that we can all agree upon. I've put "--accel kvm:hax:tcg" also on the doable list since I don't remember any objections to that idea so far -- feel free to move it to the controversial list instead if you think it needs more discussion.
