I think we are actually pretty close on 2.0. I think it's best to put energy
there. The only reason I am cutting 1.5.7 is so I can cut a DBCP release
bundling a bunch of big fixes. Adding another pool line to chase line numbers
in stack traces and port bug fixes to does not sound fun to me. All that is
left for 2.0 is to decide on what is mutable and some doco / general tidy. I
think Seb is right that we should be able to get 2 out with a minimalist API
and add later.
