- The first and foremost, and the reason why I won't even bother
- thinking about a 2.0 version, is Datatypes. Living without them would
- be such a pain in the butt..
-
- The second reason is that 2.0 is so annoying to use, I don't want to
- have to test anything under it. That is easily avoided by writing
- software that doesn't even claim to work on 2.0.
