The big issues with moving to 2.0 that I've seen expressed are non-portability, number of dependencies, API churn, and general dislike of pkg-config. Since some of these are religious issues, I think 1.8 is going to be around for quite a while, since it takes a while for people to lose their faith. Another 1.8 release might be warranted. Still no packaged 2.x in Fedora, for example. -Mike
