The problem with letters A, B, C is that they are commonly
used to denote alpha, beta, (release) candidate ...

It's true that a major version bump such as 2.0 will get
special attention in the press, in newsletters, various
forums etc., and people will certainly expect that
significant milestones have been reached to warrant such
a major version jump.  Telling them that it's just co-
incidence because 2.0 follows naturally after 1.9 will
not work, they will be disappointed.  Therefore I would
also recommend to wait with 2.0 until a milestone -- such
as the new file system -- has been hammered out.
Pun intended.  ;-)

I don't like two-digit numbers that much either, but it's
probably the lesser of two (or more) evils.

Best regards
   Oliver
