A small correction here: `stable-2.0.0` branch was deleted and a new
`stable-2.0` has been created.
The reasoning for that is that only "default" branches can be renamed
and we decided to avoid the shenanigans of setting "stable-2.0.0" to
default, rename it, and set "main" back to the default.

With this, 2 opened PRs have been affected and we've already contacted
the submitters asking them to re-open the PR against the `stable-2.0`
branch.

Another thing we'd like to mention is that if you have a local clone
of the repo, you can update it by running:
```
git branch -m 2.0-dev main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
```

And those instructions are also being displayed in the repos.
