Well, darcs 2.1 is an improvement over 2.0, and I think I would rather
have people using darcs 2.1 than using darcs 2.0.  We could do things
like putting a big disclaimer on the binary, and making a point of
hosting it somewhere other than on darcs.net.  That said, I do plan on
decentralising darcs authority as much as I can (the goal is to make
the darcs team more robust and one day run itself), so I will trust
whatever you think is the best decision.

See the recent thread by Yitzchak Gale for reference.
