Well, I'm wondering -- how much NEW work would have to be done to convert
a non-server model of 2.0 to a server model later on?

I'd hate to see you rework the whole thing to achieve 2.0 only to have to
rework lots of it later to achieve client-server.

It is something that's been talked about for awhile and I believe it is a
goal. I'm all for it being done sooner and having 2.0 delayed isn't so bad
because we DO have a very stable current release out now that has very few
known bugs.
