It would be a lot easier this time because the release would
only include kdelibs and kdebase. If we can keep the changes
in these packages down to a minimum then we should be ok. We
can use a shorter release cycle for a relatively small update
like this.

Mostly what we need next is a slew of application that use the
2.0 feature set properly. The forthcoming update to kdevelop
should help a lot because it will have templates for xmlgui
apps, designer support etc.
