Hello Kata developers,

In the Arch Committee meeting this week, we decided to move the feature development to 2.0 eventually.

Where we are
-----------------

According to issue kata-containers/kata-containers#247, we have done:

- developing flow and documentation on how to test/develop on 2.0
- artifacts for 2.0
- ci to validate changes for 2.0-dev branch

Having discussed with Bergwolf, Fabiano, Eric, Ariel, and other attendees, we decided to move development
works to 2.0 branch.

What you should do?
--------------------------

In Short, move feature development to 2.0 and 1.x is still open for feature backports
- Bugfixes can still be sent to 1.x and forward port to 2.0
- New features and enhancements must happen on 2.0 first unless they are 1.x specific

In 2.0 development, we have consolidated most of the code into repo kata-containers/kata-containers,
including the docs:

> https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/tree/2.0-dev/docs

We hope they could help you move to 2.0 development easier if you have not yet.

When will 2.0 release?
---------------------------

The roadmap of 2.0 release is listed on the wiki:

> https://github.com/kata-containers/kata-containers/wiki/Kata-Containers-2.0-Roadmap

We plan to announce the 2.0 stable release by Berlin Summit later year.

Thank you guys and enjoy hacking!
