It'll depend on how much features we'll want on 2.0. I would prefer to
don't do a heavy changed release. I prefer to work on the most
important features and then work on the 2.1 release in a near future.

Otherwise, when we release 2.0 we'll end with a high danger of
regressions and a very difficult upgrade path for application clients
of libparted.
