Description

This is going to be our catch-all issue for the logistics towards our next release, similar to what we had for 1.9.0-jumbo-1 in #3513 (but I hope not running to nearly as many comments). Other related issues are #4564 (users rightly complaining about Python 3 incompatibility issues in the previous release) and #4570 (a sub-task: update NEWS). I felt that turning either one of those two into the general release logistics issue would be wrong.

Of course, also related is everything else in the Definitely 2.0.0 milestone.
