OK.

I think the Git transition is a good time for 2.0.
This would somewhat make it easy to understand what part of the history to
look for in Subversion. The Git transition is major for Boost.

Next major revision could be when a C++ version is not officially supported
anymore. E.g., when no testers exist.
