Have faith. The rest of us will join the bandwagon soon. The fact
that you are sort of "alpha" now should be a key milestone in terms
of who else starts to play around with it and help code.

As far as adding 1.94 functionality, I think this is a good thing.
Much of what is being added is not new stuff but rather things you
already support (or plan to). We should use this as a "if you like
this addition, wait till you see what 2.0 can do!" selling point.

And while the syntax of some methods differ (significantly), a lot of
the configuration was already very different. This just means that a
migration tool between 1.9x and 2.0 config files should be a highly
visible part of the development effort.
