[libvirt] [PATCH] Bump release to 2.0.0 and document release schedule & versioning
This bumps the release number of 2.0.0, to reflect the switch to a new time based release versioning scheme. The downloads page is updated to describe our policies for release schedules and release version numbering The stable release docs are changed to reflect the fact that the stable version numbers are now just 3 digits long instead of 4.

On the other hand, do we really need to be so specific, and even list specific dates? I'd go with something a bit more generic, along the lines of "we're going to do a release at the beginning of each month, but releases might slip a few days due to holidays and such".

Does this mean that we can finally enable admin API? I think it would be awesome because the way I see it enabling it would certainly require minor bump at least. Michal

I think the proposed change is completely independent of admin API. I think we could open a discussion in a separate thread and not pollute this one. Erik
