For some context: https://letsencrypt.org/2017/06/14/acme-v2-api.html

To be clear about my opinion here: I'm not super enthusiastic about v2; I
think we can muddle through the transition just fine.  But if people feel
strongly that it would help to have a clear version (there's not even a
"v1" notation right now), that would be OK with me.
