+====== Cucumber Linux 2.0 Roadmap ======
+===== Task Status Key =====
+For simplicity and cleanliness sake, please use the following abbreviations for the status of tasks:
+  * NS = Not Started
+  * HW = Help Wanted
+  * WIP = Work in Progress
+  * DONE = Done/Completed
+If the status is 'HW', that means we are seeking developers to help with it. If you would like to help with a task that is not listed as HW (Help Wanted) or already has a developer assigned, please contact that developer directly (see https://cucumberlinux.com/developers.php for developer contact info). Otherwise, please contact Scott (scott@cucumberlinux.com).
+====== Release Timeline ======
+This is a rough, working release timeline. It will be update become more detailed as the 2.0 development/release cycle progresses.
+  * June 2018
+    * Active development begins
+    * cucumber-2.0 branched off of cucumber-1.1.
+  * January 2019
+    * Cucumber Linux 2.0 released.
+  * November 29, 2021
+    * Cucumber Linux 2.0 End of Full Support.
+  * March 1, 2022
+    * Cucumber Linux 2.0 End of Life.
+====== Major Changes ======
+===== Packages to Add and Remove in 2.0 =====
+==== New Packages to Build and Add ====
+^ Package        ^ Package Group               ^ Packager           ^ Status  ^ Details            ^
+| LibreSSL       | net-base/libressl           | Scott Court        | DONE   | We will be replacing OpenSSL with LibreSSL in Cucumber Linux 2.0 due to LibreSSL's superior security. |
+| Meson          | dev-general/meson           | Scott Court        | NS, HW  | This was added in LFS 8.1 and some packages have hinted that they will be transitioning to the ninja/meson build system. Xorg will be switching to ninja/meson in the next release, so this will be necessary to build future X servers. |
+| Ninja          | dev-general/ninja           | Scott Court        | NS, HW  | This was added in LFS 8.1 and some packages have hinted that they will be transitioning to the ninja/meson build system. Xorg will be switching to ninja/meson in the next release, so this will be necessary to build future X servers. |
+| i3             | x-general/i3                | Maarten Hendrickx  | NS      | Why not? Everyone loves i3! |
+| OpenBox        | x-general/openbox           | Scott Court        | NS, HW  | This will complete our goal of adding three window managers: one that can completely stand alone well (WindowMaker), one basic windowing manager (OpenBox) and one tiling manager (i3). |
+| Neovim         | base/neovim                 | Scott Court        | DONE   | We will be replacing Vim with Neovim in Cucumber Linux 2.0 since Neovim is more functional, modern and secure than Vim (and Neovim still maintains backwards compatibility with Vim). |
+| qt5            | x-general/qt5               | Scott Court        | NS, HW  | More and more stuff is coming to depend on qt5 specifically, so we'll add it to satisfy those packages. |
+| rustc          | dev-general/rustc           | Scott Court        | DONE   | Firefox 60 ESR requires a Rust compiler to build. |
+==== New Features to Add to Existing Packages ====
+^ Package        ^ Package Group               ^ Developer           ^ Status  ^ Details            ^
+| GCC            | dev-base/gcc                | None                | HW      | Enable Go support  |
+| LLVM           | dev-general/llvm            | None                | HW      | Enable the Clang & Clang++ front ends |
+==== Packages to Import from the Extra or Testing groups ====
+These packages have already been built (or will have already been built) by the time we start building 2.0; however, they are not included in a base or general package group and are therefore not included on the installer and are not installed by default. This is a list of packages that will be moved into a mainline base or general group come Cucumber Linux 2.0.
+^ Package        ^ New Package Group           ^ Old Package Group           ^
+| Pale Moon      | xapps-general/palemoon      | xapps-extra/palemoon        |

+| OpenSMTPD      | net-general/opensmtpd       | net-extra/opensmtpd         |
+| VSFTPD         | net-general/vsftpd          | net-extra/vsftpd            |
+| mailx          | net-general/mailx           | net-extra/mailx             |
+| libasr         | lib-general/libasr          | lib-extra/libasr            |
+| libevent       | lib-general/libevent        | lib-extra/libevent          |
+==== Packages to Remove ====
+^ Package        ^ Package Group               ^ Rationale                               ^
+| OpenSSL        | net-base/openssl            | We will be replacing OpenSSL with LibreSSL. |
+| Vim            | base/vim                    | We will be replacing Vim with Neovim. |
+| Python 2       | lang-base/python2           | Python 2 will cease being supported at the end of 2019. |
