Yep, I was thinking the same thing: once we feel the master branch is
stable with the backend library split from the command line utility, we
should start a new v2.x version naming. If there's any reason to make a
release on the old one in the meantime (I had to tag one yesterday due
to an unfortunate bug in v1.15), that branch can continue using the v1.x
names.
