Cool, THANKS!

Is it not 'better' to branch your old version in the 1.8.x branch, and 
do further work in master (for future releases)?

If I understand correctly, there is some (more) work and clean up 
possible for all 2.0 plugins:

- sip2 stuff Nathans lists in https://gist.github.com/NathanW2/5734767 
(from which the new SIGNAL stuff is most scary for me)
- remove old symbology related code, because 2.0 has only new symbology
- remove the 1.8/2.0 switches that were needed for being able to run 
both api-versions (not needed anymore because a 2.0 version is now 
incompatible with 1.8).

right?
