Smiley: thanks for the comments.
Don't worry, the intention is not to add a bunch of new features or totally redesign / re-implement the interface. It's more of a clear milestone / version at which to tweak a few things that might not be backwards compatible, and to be deliberate about the design. Kind of like Python 3.0, for those that know it.
Renaming analogWrite() is of the right scope, although I personally would be inclined not to.
