I still don't think that we need a big plan for this... The change from
1.7 to 2.0 was also rather arbitrary, wasn't it?

Anyway, I've now started a Wiki page to collect ideas:

 https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Version3.0

Maybe we can jump to version 3.0 if there are enough doable items on the
list that we can all agree upon.

I've put "--accel kvm:hax:tcg" also on the doable list since I don't
remember any objections to that idea so far -- feel free to move it to
the controversial list instead if you think it needs more discussion.
