I do not think potentially incompatible stuff that are slated for
2.0 that have been cooking in 'next' affects the server side, so
that may be a good and safe move.

There is no 'next release' though; there is no guarantee what is
cooking in 'next' will be in any future release ;-).

In any case, it is nice to see that people from a large hosting site
finally taking a hint from my occasional light complaints that come
after "thanks for reporting" whenever I see regression and breakage
report soon after a topic graduates to 'master' ;-).  It is good to
see that more people starting to adopt the 'next' branch early for
wider testing.

Thanks.
