Hi-
  I know some guys who have JFFS v1 running on their Linux platform.

They want to know what (if anything) is liable to break when they
try to go to JFFS2.

  They don't do anything fancy, just simple file operations 
(open, write, close).

I told them there should be no problem, but they still
want me to ask you experts.

There should be no problem. Obviously the on-medium format isn't
compatible and you'll need to recreate your file system, but anything
which worked on JFFS1 should continue to work on JFFS2 -- and more.
