And what I'm saying is that I don't see a reason to make the provision
(i.e. create /v1) until we know we need it, because it would be just
as easy to create then as now.

In any case, like Craig, I would see us splitting v1 vs. v2 by using a
branch for one of them. Unlike Craig, I would see the branch as being
1.x rather than 2.x. ;-) My reasoning is that the trunk should be the
future, and branches the past. Also, IMHO, it would be more natural to
have 2.0 branch off the trunk later, when 3.0 comes along, than to
have 3.0 be a branch off the 2.0 branch.

That said, I would really like to see us all stick together for as
long as possible, and not diverge into 1.x and 2.x paths too soon,
simply because I don't think there is enough energy here to sustain
two parallel version of Struts.
