I’m definitely on the side of delaying Julia 2.0 as long as possible and haven’t really seen many issues worthy of issuing a breaking release. However, in light of the new [threading PSA](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-thread-local-state-is-no-longer-recommended-common-misconceptions-about-threadid-and-nthreads/101274/40), is updating/deprecating the threading foot-guns a strong reason to push for 2.0? Or can any relevant problems be solved by non-breaking releases (or just encouraging better code)?
