Good.
I look at the 2.0 documentation in a different light. After awhile we
will have many new users whose first mod_perl experience was 2.0, so I
see no reason why burdening docs with references to 1.x, which in a long
run will be irrelevant anyway. That's why I'm concentrating all the
"migration" notes in user/compat/compat.pm and devel/compat/compat.pm,
so those interested in migration will read those docs.

Again, I didn't think that Apache::compat might not be loaded at
startup. sure, you are right.
Thanks!
