 Features that require breaking changes in the stable parts of the repository
 are being batched up and tracked in the [v2
-milestone](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/milestone/2). The v2
-development happens in a [separate
-branch](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/tree/dev-v2) for the time
-being. v2 releases off that branch will happen once sufficient stability is
-reached. In view of the widespread use of this repository, v1 and v2 will
-coexist for a while to enable a convenient transition.
