1.2 -> 2.0 transition. As is proper, backward-incompatible changes only
occur on a "major-version" upgrade. The reason, I think, was that the
.log-suffix is usually preserved for files which are only appended to.
This has never been the case for any of
{downtime,comments,status,retention}.{log,dat}

Nopes. If I were you I'd drop 1.x support from NLG though. It's, imo,
not worth the trouble to cater to an already small audience that will
only diminish in numbers.
