Yes - Nessus 2.1.x and Nessus 2.0.x share the same plugins branch, so
there's no NESSUS_2_0 branch.

The reason behind is mostly that maintaining two trees for the plugins
is uterly difficult, and the fact that nasl2 contains enough functions
to write backward compatible plugins (*) incites us to use the same tree
as long as we can.


(*) Backward compatible as in "Nessus 2.1.x specific plugin will quietly
exit on launch"
