CI 2.0 and the future

[eluser]pbreit[/eluser]
[quote author="Brian Dickson" date="1277151978"]Searching the CI forums, it seems that CI 2.0 have been in development for at least 3 - 4 years (I seen posts dating to 2006), is this an elusive milestone? is CI 2.0 like Gran Turismo 5?[/quote]

My sense is the opposite: CI 2.0 has not been in development so long and is already just about ready for prime time. Ellis Labs' products are running on 2.0. I think it was Derek who stated that if you are starting a new project, it's definitely fine to consider putting it on 2.0. There is evidence that CI will remain lean. 2.0 for example even drops some major features like plug-ins and scaffolding.
