Although there will be cutoffs in the future, there is simply a push to 
help load and test AG 2.0 in the Community.  In order to be AG 2.0 
compatible, I would just have one of your team download the appropriate 
prerequisites software, current AG Release Candidate, request a 
certificate, and simply become familiar with AG2.0.  Many folks have just 
done this on an extra machine or laptop.

An installation and testing series is happening every Tues and Thurs (check 
AG Schedule) to get folks up and running on AG 2.0.  Many sites have setup 
AG 2.0 on a different machine than their production node so they can test 
without scheduling the space of their AG 1.0.  These meetings serve to 
provide our AG 2.0 developers with bugs and appropriate user testing.

I am copying our development team for their feedback, however, the majority 
of meetings are still being conducted via AG 1.0.
