I'd also rather have 1.10 than 2.0.
Hopefully someone will push the mplock out of the network stack for 2.0 at
the start of next year. That would be great. Imagine: new file system,
syslink, LWP/1:1 userland threading and network stack without BGL.

This would surely be worth 2.0 and would make it quite big in press.
