It seems a bit much to kick us up to 2.0. This is hardly a major release.
If being consistent with the more common numbering convention is important,
I'd rather see us consider this a minor release and kick up to 1.9.0 (with
development snapshots being considered patches). The differences between our
current stable release and this one are mostly bug fixes, and perhaps a few
extra features (like, did we have the default shapefile stuff in there for the
1.8.4 stable release?).
The more I think on it, the more I think that stable releases should be
considered a good definition of minor releases, and that snapshots make
sense as patch releases, since they're invariably just a few bug fixes
different from the last stable version.
I concur w/ Tom. I also hold out for the day when we split out services
and look at a spatial DBMS (PostGIS?) as when we begin the 2.0.0 series.

This seems like a good time to do it as it has been some months
since the last, plus the codebase has been fairly stable, with
mostly bug-fixes going in for a while.
This is just a feeler to see if anyone has any major headaches with
it. If not, how about a release date sometime in the first couple
of weeks of April?
This would either be release 1.8.6 or we could start using the
recommended numbering scheme and go with 2.0:
<http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-Release-Practice-HOWTO/index.html>
The third digit is supposed to be patch levels for a release, as in
major.minor.patch numbering. If we adopted this strategy then we
could go with 2.1 for our next development version and 2.2 for the
following stable release.
Thoughts?
