Roadmap grammY 2.0

[KnorpelSenf]

The following is a tentative list of issues that would be cool to include in the next major release of grammY.

After 4 years of development without a major version, the grammY core library has accumulated a number of oddities that can only be fixed by doing breaking changes. grammY 2.0 is our opportunity to introduce these changes.

We may add or remove issues from the list below if we think that this makes sense.

There is no ETA. The release will happen when we have reached high quality. It goes faster if you contribute. The progress can be seen on the v2 branch: https://github.com/grammyjs/grammY/commits/v2/
