For non-trivial Cocoon sites the 2.0.x to 2.1 migration will require
more than just recompiling component classes.  

There are incompatibilities on different levels.  The ones I am aware of
are:

1.) sitemap.xmap must add <map:pipes> in components definition.

2.) File upload class name changed from
o.a.c.components.request.multipart.FilePart to
o.a.c.servlet.multipart.Part.

3.) File upload method names changed from FilePart.getFilePath() to
Part.getUploadName().
(Need to confirm on this one.  I don't have file upload working yet with
M2.)

4.) RequestGenerator changed namespace from
http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/requestgenerator/2.0 to
http://apache.org/cocoon/request/2.0.

I don't think it is worthwhile to attempt complete backwards
compatibilitity in 2.0 to 2.1.  Instead there should be a Migration
Guide listing the known incompatibilities in a more comprehendable form
than the Changes file.  Otherwise Cocoon users will be in for a rough
ride in the migration, possible producing a lot of bad press at this
crucial moment.
