Maybe not. There is a fairly well-established convention in the computer biz that the first digit should change only when you break backward compatibility. The V lines don't break any pre-existing abc. They are a pure extension, not a change of any sort. So this should probably not warrant a jump to a version starting with "2.". Of course, such things are merely conventions, and lots of companies have violated them. A big number change is often done for marketing purposes, to convince users that it's something they should spend money on. I guess it mostly seems silly to see that we'd be telling people that there are two versions of abc, 1.6 and 2. This sounds like a parody of how computer people do things.
