If there are really serious bugs that can be fixed on that branch, it
may happen.  I don't expect it though - we [as mostly volunteers] don't
have the resources to keep the branch up to date, nor do we expect to
ever have a follow-on release from the branch.

The trunk is kept quite stable and has many improvements already that
aren't in the 2.0 release.  Is there something that keeps you from 
using it?
