We haven't pegged any version numbers to the tasks extracted from the
roadmap discussion. I think we should consider what architecture rework
we intend to do (and impact), and if it merits keeping 2 streams (or not).

I agree on getting something out frequently. Having said that if there
is a consensus on 2 streams then I think we need to keep the momentum up
on both to get releases/milestones out there.
