Are there any plans to upgrade PostGIS to version 2.0? Because this

Postgis 2.0 from ubuntugis-unstable (no change to the script required to
get that).
Some projects may not be able to use 2.0 yet, for those we should also
retain 1.5. As Brian has pointed out it should be possible to have both.
Possible method:
Install Postgis 1.5 from ubuntu stock repos, then add ubuntugis to apt
and install 2.0. 1.5 sql files might remain on the system which would
then give us both. We'd want to make 2 different template dbs one thats
1.5 using the same name we have now and then a postgis 2.0 template
under a different name so projects that want to use it can.
I can absolutely do this, my main concern is FUD from others abuot
non-standard installs
The PostGIS core team has been building and using 1.5 and 2.0 side by
side for more than two years
of course it works.. but there is a small matter of defaults, etc
Ideally, I'd like to see only one version of PostGIS installed. Reasons:
* Reduce confusion from new users questioning which version of postgis
to use.
* Reduce disk space used - would we need to load our default datasets
into both versions of PostGIS?
So I question whether we update all applications which make use of PostGIS.
