 Replying to [comment:4 iwakeh]:
 > Ok, version 2.0.0 for metrics-lib this April is fine.

 Okay.  Please help identify things that should go into a 2.0.0 release.

 > Should removing the descriptor-impl dependency from metrics-db be part
 of the renaming ticket?

 Oh, why?  We could remove that dependency now if you want.  It just didn't
 happen, because nobody touched that code.  But it should be fine to take
 out.

 You're right.  Let's use a parent ticket for this.  Would you want to
 create one and possibly define other tickets as child tickets?
