Hi Mark!

Usually, from other projects history, major version changes (1=>2) are
bringing imcompatibilities even in upgrading. So trying to downgrade
seems pretty risky. Indeed, I have completely read the 2.0.0 release
documentation and I haven't seen a clear note that once you start
using 2.x you will not be able to use it with 1.x. So, probably
placing this note somewhere would help users before upgrading.
