As I've said previously, DBI v2.0 is mainly about changes to the DBI<->DBD

Makes no difference, IMO. DBD authors have the same choice to stick with v1
or not.
True. And DBD authors also have a choice about the minimum version of perl they want to support. Just because the DBI is (aiming) to support 5.6 doesn't mean all the drivers have to support 5.6 as well.
I am in full agreement on this point. I think that the DBDs themselves should be more sensitive to Perl versions than DBI. The DBDs can always massage the results to return to DBI so that they conform to older Perl revisions and make sure DBI doesn't choke.
