Starting to cut a 2.0.0-M1 release

[Emmanuel Lecharny <el...@gmail.com>]

Hi guys,

I'm just back from a long week-end, and it's hard to start hacking 
deeply on the current trunks, because that means a lot of changes in it. 
(I'm currently working on aliases, and we have many issues)

I will branch the current trunk into a branches/2.0.0-M1, create the 
tarballs, and launch a vote for a 2.0.0-M1 release as soon as I have the 
tarballs ready.

Keep in mind that this 2.0.0-M1 is *just* a milestone, nothing more, 
nothing less. I'm not even sure we should advertize it, but some of our 
user base is waiting for very important bug fixes (mainly the ACI reload 
issue : when the server is stopped, the ACI aren't reloaded at startup, 
which makes the server unusable. It has been fixed 3 weeks ago).

It's also an opportunity for people who want to get familiar with the 
new configuration to play with it for real.

I don't really mind wasting half a day on such a task if any of you 
think it's not a good idea to release this week, as it's also a perfect 
opportunity to check the release process for free, so feel comfortable 
to tell me to revert the branch.

Thanks guys !
