As a quiet, reasonably busy, solo user of 2.1 in several projects, I was thinking I was doomed to run legacy 2.1 for a long time, since the burden of changing the codebase to 3.0 is much greater than the benefit to me of 3.0 features.
Option 2 makes me happy that I could progress some time without massive effort. So I'm another voice for Option 2. Thanks very much for your openness here and in general.
