I'm not sure we can even decide now how we'll proceed after R1 is out.
I can think of one example where detailing the future of Haiku might
make sense, but I also appreciate that no one really knows where Haiku
post R1 will go.
The issue I can think of is backwards compatibility. If I knew that
R2 was 99% positive to break binary compatibility, I might choose to
re-write an application for example, Gobe Productive, rather than
working on strange or broken API's etc. to make it compatible with
under Haiku R1.
While I am sure that R2 will break binary compatibility, I don't think
its officially been stated at Haiku-os.org (correct me if I am wrong).
It might be nice to have issues as large as this listed somewhere.
