Well, that's kind of what 2.0 *was*. The revisions since 2.0 have brought
nice things, but in a more recognizably incremental sort of way. It was
the 1.0 -> 2.0 transition that was the pretty much textbook Fred Brooks-ian
do-over with the advantage of the lessons learned from the first one.

Or so it has always seemed to me.
