The exp-run for making 2.0 default was done again, and only 2 issues came up and I fixed both of those. Further I haven't been able to find any issues with the current version of gem in ports, though that doesn't mean they don't exist of course. So, I'm thinking we should go ahead and set a date and do it. Anyone have objections to doing it October 9, 2014? Or is a month too long to wait? Steve
