Yes, I think that's the plan.

The branching doesn't appear to have been done (there's only a
release tag, but not a branch), but I don't think this matters
(the branch can be created from the release tag, right ?).
This means, the development can start again in HEAD.

Yes, please stick to binary AND source compatibility for kdelibs (*)
(as well as what I call "behaviour" compatibility). A KDE 2.0 application
must run fine on top of kdelibs 2.1.

(*) For everything else than kdelibs it doesn't matter, of course.
