[gdal-dev] Migrate to GDAL v2 or not?

[Even Rouault]

Paul,

It is difficult to answer on your behalf. If you need new features of GDAL 2, 
then it is pretty obvious. Otherwise it depends on if you are confortable with 
using a "non vetted" development version (but whose quality you can assess by 
running the autotest suite), because you want to do progressive adoption (it 
is not excluded that there will be extra interface changes before GDAL 2), or 
want to stick with something with a more official label. But we definitely need 
early adopters to make it a memorable release.

Best regards,

Even
