I seem to remember there was effort a few years ago to try and migrate everything to v2 but there ended up being a number of specific usecases that v2 didn't do that v1 did and the effort ended up migrating a bunch of stuff but not all so v1 stuck around. It might be useful to document these issues somewhere. Peter -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
