No, the linux-fb won't be officially supported in the 2.0.0 release;
in fact, the only officially supported target in 2.0.0 will be the
X11 target; we hope to add the Win32 backend as officially supported
fairly quickly afterwards.

There is no real target for when we'll get the linux-fb target
officially supported, it basically depends on when someone who needs
it picks it up, fixes up the easy stuff, gives it some testing, and
gives us an idea of what needs to be done before it can be declared
ready to go.
