I don't get it. Sure there's a lot of features people want to add. And the
answer is typically, "2.0".
But what is the major platform difference for this major revision?
I just built HEAD (2.0 on 7_2) and... umm... I like 1.2.3, at least it
works.
Huh?
This is so broken and as far as I can tell, most of its the same anyway.
Why not just add new features / fix things on whats already working so well?
I'm trying RELENG_2_0 now, maybe that'll be more encouraging.
Use the official snapshots -- they work.

Sorry, not trying to discredit it. Just trying to understand it.
I think the major difference is the CoreGUI2?
From what I'm reading this is a major improvement.
I rarely even look at the GUI code though, so sorry I over looked that.
Same principle could be applied to the underlaying system management
interface though.
Thats where I've been sticking my nose and thinking "sheesh".
Its good stuff, but like Ermal mentioned, theres a lot of kludging code
together going on in there, getting kind of clunky.
A parameter system / callback driven approach to a rewrite would clean
it up a lot.
