This bumps the release number of 2.0.0, to reflect the switch to
a new time based release versioning scheme. The downloads page
is updated to describe our policies for release schedules and
release version numbering

The stable release docs are changed to reflect the fact that
the stable version numbers are now just 3 digits long instead
of 4.

Look like you addressed everything that was needed, but I screwed up and
pushed your previous version by mistake.  So ACK to the difference
needed to clean the rest up.  The diff follows below.  I apologize for
not paying enough attention.  Sorry.
