Can Oscar detect if a profile was for 1.x or for 2.x? If so then profiles for different versions could happily live in the same profile directory. Old profiles could simply be ignored by the new version and the other way round. Other than that, I don't have a preference for the default name for this directory. In the applications we've deployed so far, we've changed this default anyway (a dot-style directory looks a bit strange on Windows for example, so we even vary the name depending on the platform).
