Comment (by rutsky):

 Wow, 10000 for such bug is a lot, IMO. I'm in!

 I think hardest part of this bug is a bunch of careful routine renaming
 while leaving interfaces backward compatible.
 Depending on how much nine interfaces are incompatible changed comparing
 to 0.8.*, API compatibility may be left or may be dropped. And even if API
 need to stay backward compatible it's not a hard problem IMO.

 I'm not familiar with new master/slave protocol work-in-progress, but I
 debugged current master/slave protocol implementation and don't think it's
 too hard to backward-compatibly extend it to "master/worker" terms. So
 keeping current "slaves" to work with new master is definitely doable.

 I would like to participate in this bounty program.
 Dustin, should I send e-mail to botherders with objectives and deadlines
 according to BountyProgram wiki page?
 I think I have enough experience with Buildbot to complete this project
 (this also be good reason to start to use nine branch for me).
