We'll see what happens but if it's up to me Homebrew 2.0 with a new formula API will never happen. Yes, we have a bunch of cruft that we could kill but breaking all existing formulae (particularly 3rd-party formulae) seems like a price not work paying.

Similarly, if you find auto-update helpful but it runs too often check out `export HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS=300` which would bump the check time from 60 seconds to 5 minutes.
