I think we need to be careful as to what the 'default' version of
groovy is as this will have had the most amount of testing during the
development cycle; I think that should be 1.8.5 as this is current
stable - I have no objection to having groovy 2.0 in the release but
bearing in mind its current release status this should be optional -
i.e. through having a groovy-2.0 package rather than changing the
groovy package to 2.0.0.

We have a similar challenge with Java - 6 will be the default but 7 is
available in a separate package IF you want to use it.

Cheers

James
