In the interest of making the least amount of work for anybody, my 
suggestion would be to proceed at the current rate towards 2.0.0, but to 
make sure that this is still compatible with FPC 3.0.0. After that try 
to slow down the Lazarus numerical progression a bit by using 
"hundredths" more.

And I'm afraid that I'm not volunteering for anything right now: I've 
got my hands more than a little full to the extent that I'm finding it 
difficult to test FPC and Lazarus on some of the odder systems I have 
around here as often as I'd like.
