I'm sorry that my mail was taken the wrong way.
I understand that email is not always the best medium for communicating.
My plan is to freeze the master branch at the end of April, thereupon only accepting bug fixes or trivial enhancements, and hopefully declare 2.0 released before the end of May.
I think this is the right thing to do given the scarcity of resources. That would also give us time to set up the infrastructure I mentioned w.r.t. testing and measuring the influence of ASDF's design choices. It would also help in creating a wiki (anybody opposes it living in wikispaces and doing it _now_?)
To name one thing, not all the features present in ASDF 2 are actually spread and used throughout the Common Lisp world. To name one: the :type argument to components which allows specifying the file extension. There are many asd files out there that define classes just for that. It would make sense to write down a document that lists the key changes and how they should be used (pointer to the manual, etc)
