I'd love to see a stable 2.1, too. I love the idea to bring out an
interim version earlier, because 2.0 had it's flaws. But then I'd
recommend to take the needed time, to make 2.1 as good as you are all
telling us since months.
I think everybody has the amount of understanding, that a 2.1 quality
release takes a certain amount of time, after adding so much new features.
So make a better 2.0 release with important bugfixes and a glimpse of 2.1
and please take the necessary time, to make a real nice 2.1.
Otherwise it could happen, that we see a 2.1.5, soon, because you made
it in a hurry.
Thanks for you work
