Well, I am not sure it's that much use. If you don't want to use a 2.5
binary... even if 2.8 would let you downgrade to old-fashioned, you
would still need 2.5 or older to actually *do* anything with your
repository.
So the only use-case I can think of is a gateway for darcs 1.0 users. Is
that what you had in mind?
I should've made that clearer--yes-- For those people who are still
using Darcs 1.0 binaries who might be nervous about the upgrade.
Otherwise it doesn't really matter. (Assuming we're not *also* planning
on introducing new repo formats anytime soon that 2.5 can't read...).
