1.6 will not have many of the features of K2. 1.6 will have ACL's.... K2 has a user profile system, basic ACL, and a CCK.
That said, I have found it to be somewhat inflexible and javascript heavy and while it is a great system, just like sobi and all the other CCK's I find myself having to make too many hacks to be usable. Also I really don't like an all in one integrated system....I prefer my user profile system seperate from my other systems. At this point, or at least right before the move and the fire, I was looking into Phing to make a generic component creator[there are a couple online ones but their not advanced enough for me...I want one that creates a basic CRUD system for a basic 2-3 table layout].... That way when I need to "clone" the component, I can just use the template and create another one. Use very basic database fields[text and integers is enough for most applications, and custom coding can handle the complex cases]. Of course that project was shelved....along with my entire redmine project system that I had setup on my laptop and had not had "time" to push to my server yet.
