I just looked over the CMF roadmap document since we're supposed to have
a 2.1 beta in a matter of weeks and now I'm wondering if this is
possible/desirable right now:
http://www.zope.org/Products/CMF/docs/roadmap
First of all, some of the work items on the list are half-finished or
still off on some branch. Secondly, when comparing our roadmap to the
Plone roadmap...
http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap
... I'm not sure if we need a 2.1 right now. We seem to be producing
one-off release branches that are either not used at all or used
sporadically by specific projects. By the way, Florent, do you guys have
such a roadmap doc that I can look at once in a while? Something that at
least says "version X is planned for Y and will run on CMF version Z".
Not as such, for now the CPS 3.4 line is in maintenance mode and will
keep using CMF 1.6.1.
CPS 4 is in heavy development and doesn't yet require changes from the
CMF features present in 1.6, appart maybe from GenericSetup bugfixes
w.r.t. unicode. We use z3 views and events in CPS, but don't really
require CMF to use them (we hardly use CMF-provided skins anymore).
We certainly don't require a 2.1 release anytime soon.
The current roadmap is here:

Florent
Also, one of the highly desirable items on the list, the local skin
customization, has an outside dependency that we need to wait on.
So, what's the consensus? Do we postpone 2.1 to get more things done? Do
we cut the list of planned features down and create yet another release
branch that might not even be used? I'm hoping this discussion can
foster more active collaboration on roadmaps between the different "CMF
customers". There's no sense following a strict time-based policy that
is currently out of sync with what the "customers" want/need.
