I think this is fine. The steps for making the tarball are here (including link to make-release): http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_checklist I don't think we should make this the "2.0" release. Sam would be the one to publish the tarball, but anyone can generate an unofficial alpha tarball, and I'd encourage that. I'd like to get something finished in October (I was hoping September, actually, but events seem to have overwhelmed that). Getting things done by then means not waiting for anything that doesn't make it in soon. We should probably branch from the same branch point as 1.20wmf12.
