Our JCR bundles are currently based on JR 1.6, which is still in
"maintenance mode".
Yes, but I imagine that we're going to want to upgrade them to JR 2 soon. At least that's my desire. So my question was whether or not it made sense to release, for example, jcr.base 2.0.6 using JR 1.6 before it gets upgraded to JR 2. This way, folks who want to stay on JR 1.6 will have a stable release of the bundles to use while trunk is upgraded to JR 2.

Currently, it looks to me like these are the bundles which should be upgraded to JR 2:
jcr.contentloader
jcr.base
jcr.jackrabbit.server
jcr.jackrabbit.usermanager
jcr.jackrabbit.accessmanager
jcr.webdav

My current approach is to merge our extensions to Jackrabbit to make it
useable and extensible (to a certain extent) in an OSGi framework to the
Jackrabbit project. See my work in the Jackrabbit sandbox [1].

In the end, we will probably still have our Jackrabbit embedding, which
is 1.6 based and the new Jackrabbit 2 embedding which will be more like
native Jackrabbit.

It's not just about the embedded server. There's a reasonable amount of code (spread across the bundles listed above) which depends upon o.a.jackrabbit.api.jsr283.security, which doesn't exist anymore.
Nevertheless, I we have something to release, and if there is a desire
to have a release, nothing stops us from releasing ;-)
I'm actually not in a good position to say whether or not a release is needed in the above-listed bundles, i.e. if there are significant fixes from the last release. I just want to be able to upgrade trunk to JR 2 quickly once a release is cut.
