Sounds good; getting most of the API changes in place would help downstream projects like Hive, Pig and Cascading by allowing them to depend on a released version. I don't think we'll be able to get everything done, and iterative improvements will continue in subsequent releases, but getting a large set of the incompatible changes into a release would be helpful.
