I find this an interesting choice. While a good portion of the community 
has moved over and libraries have supported both or just D2, this could 
result in another rift.

With this kind of choice it may be important to prioritize those issues 
found by the D1 users that are beginning their port.

I haven't used D1 for a long time so I can't claim a bad choice here.
