Christian, I think that given the backlash that's likely to happen, your upcoming GNOME 2.0.1 upload should continue to have the *2 packages, offering us the ability to later roll it into unstable (when transitions are more established) and then into testing (when transitions are rock-solid). (Libraries should definitely, however, have unchanging names - only the binary packages should be *2 packages.) This is a small amount of work for us but if users really will go nuts over it (depending on how good the transition is to begin with) I think it's the best idea. (It can be as temporary as you want, too -- if you think, after a few weeks, that it's ready, just get the *2 packages removed and upload the not-*2 packages. Moving things to testing, however, should definitely wait for a general consensus.)
