Which is the right thing to do, and we shouldn't encourage them to do
anything else.

You can't use the 2.0 features without making the jump; there are too
many changes. If you aren't going to use the 2.0 features, there's no
reason to jump. Because we allow the 1.0 libs to be installed
simultaneously. So you are not forced to jump until you want the
features.
