No, we haven't heard too much.  We spent some time swearing at it  
profusely though ;)  Mateusz and I think there will be some  
opportunity to put 2.0 under liblas, or at least do a liblas2 in the  
mold of liblas's design (implementation hidden PIMPL stuff).  But  
mostly we're just closing our eyes and going "la la la de da"... :)

I personally think LAS 2.0 is such a mess that vendors are going to  
end up picking what they want to support with it -- causing las  
1.0/1.1 to be the actual interchange formats and entrenching them even  
more.

Let us know about the mailing list subscription (I can manually  
subscribe you if you wish) or commit access.
