I'm trying to get v2.0.0 out pretty quickly though. v2.0.beta1 should hopefully be out in less than a month.
Great news on how fast 2.0 is coming along! I finally got the go ahead to convert my biggest client, but he wants to hold off (political reasons) for a few months, so I think I'll just plan on starting to test 2.0 soon, and making that the target for his installation.
The main problem with it is actually how to make it enough backwards compatible that everyone won't start hating me.
I honestly don't see that ever happening Timo - and please, don't go down the same road Microsoft did with Windows.
Not that you need any help, but I would suggest to just focus on making the conversion tools (mbox/maildir > (m)dbox, old config > new config, etc) rock solid, and document any incompatibilities really well.
