Excellent. Any sense of the likely schedule from here to 2.0 release?

Faisal, from David’s first two paragraphs, I’d guess that they don’t  
have any fixed date/timeframe for 2.0 final release. I’d guess it’d be  
somewhere between 30-75 days from now. May be the xmas gift 🙂

Vague as that is, that’s the kind of timeline I find useful. And or  
something like “we foresee 30-60 days of pounding bugs and if all  
goes well we’ll spin a couple release candidates” which tells me the  
release is 95% likely within 120 days.

Note for those just joining the thread: these are not real  
schedules. We are speculating on speculations.
