The original idea (as I understand it) was to call it a developer
release, but that included all kinds of non-developer stuff. It is my
humble opinion that as long we include nautilus, panel, control-center,
and sawfish, we can print DEVELOPER RELEASE on the foreheads of every
user and they are still going to think of it as a desktop release.

So... maybe the solution is to freeze/release the libraries very
shortly, make those a 'real' 2.0 developer release (i.e.,
libraries/daemons /only/), and say 'we'll release the desktop apps based
on those libraries/APIs/versions when they're ready'?
