Thanks for supporting us.

It's really only about the constructor change. The constructor change
is probably the primary reason why it is tough to maintain the
separate branches, as they are so different.

I started a discussion about generics, but unfortunately, I didn't
check that what I was proposing was actually possible. Turns out it
isn't, so it looks like the generics will stay in there as is.

So, if we would go on ditching 2.0, we would still have two separate
branches (and maybe we just still keep calling it 2.0, no preferences
at this time) where - ideally - the only difference is that one is
based on 1.4 and the other on 1.5.
