I'm in a somewhat similar boat as @Stuart Wright, albeit on a much smaller scale. Even if developers do prioritize add-ons we use, the ones with multiple add-ons will take time to get through everything. People like Bob and Xon and Themehouse will have loads of work to do, and we have a few custom add-ons that will need to be upgraded to 2.0. We also can't upgrade unless there is a good forms add-on or a classifieds system for 2.0, and who knows when/if that will happen.
So I'd be surprised if we upgrade within a year of xf 2.0 going live. However, I'm eagerly awaiting an announcement so that I can plan and budget and find out which add-ons will receive priority for updating. It will also help me decide what's worth investing in now, and what's best held off til later.
I imagine many developers will start looking into XF 2.0 in-depth during the beta phase. This should hopefully enable most plugin developers to make their add ons compatible with 2.0 very shortly after the stable release.
Now, any unsupported plugins, well...
