i never said "kill it now"; quite the opposite really.  in fact, it looks like 
you really arent taking your own saying to heart.  my point is to look to the 
future and stop wasting resources.  if v1 incorporates all the features of v2, 
then v2 has no purpose at all except to split development and waste peoples 
time.  the approach set out originally was to keep v1 usable while we look at 
getting v2 up to feature parity of v1.  but apparently v2 has no interest at 
all with the larger community to actually make that happen.  that doesnt sound 
like the open source spirit, that sounds like "i'll play with my toys over 
here and everyone else can do what they like".
