I like the idea of popping out Tachyon to an optional component too to reduce the number of dependencies. In the future, it might even be useful to do this for Hadoop, but it requires too many API changes to be worth doing now.
Regarding Scala 2.12, we should definitely support it eventually, but I don't think we need to block 2.0 on that because it can be added later too. Has anyone investigated what it would take to run on there? I imagine we don't need many code changes, just maybe some REPL stuff. Needless to say, but I'm all for the idea of making "major" releases as undisruptive as possible in the model Reynold proposed. Keeping everyone working with the same set of releases is super important.
