Well, bugs still appears with "-w" and "use strict".  What I'm afraid for,
is that the complete package must contain features that (almost?) nobody
uses.  I really think that there will be things that _should_ work in the
2.0 that won't work and won't be discovered until long time after release
unless (somebody) do a major work testing all possibilities.

Then again, if people encounter things that won't work with 2.0, the help
will probably only be some few hours away when asking at the user or devel
lists...
