All of the above -- being mature, reaching the stability phase, etc -- is true of Subversion 1.x. It is _not_ true of "Subversion" without a 1.x after it. [...] Subversion 1.x is mature. Subversion 2.0 is now on the drawing board.
A very good point.
[...] Prong 1: Everything you said about stability and availability for 1.x. People need to know that the Subversion they know, love, and rely upon will continue to take care of them. Prong 2: Open up a 2.0-dev branch even if there's nothing to put there yet. In any announcements about 1.x going stable make sure to mention that 2.0 is now open for business. People need to know that there is a future -- and they can help shape it!!!!!!
That's such a powerful idea, yes! The attitude that we don't have to know what 2.0 will be, but can say "welcome!"... and see where it will lead.
Do you want to be the one to start a separate thread about this? - Julian
