Simple solution to this: we make the M2 branch now. The trunk is the place for forward development, if a pending release is holding back forward development that is the sign that we need a release branch. That will allow all the 0-9 work to come back to the trunk with no risk to M2. Work that should be on both will have to be merged across, there's no way around that but it doesn't make sense to hold up trunk development for M2 anymore.
The suggestion wasn't to hold up development for M2 but rather to hold up M2 release until development has ticked all the boxes we have set ourselves for M2 release. I understand the desire to get 0.9 on the trunk and think that should be our main driver just now but we do need to do a release and that release needs to contain a very stable release as we will not be doing another release for sometime, if previous discussions are anything to go by.
Cheers, Alan.
