Hi Ben and Joern, 

It's not our intention to suggest that everyone is happy and able to move 
to version 3, which is why we're still maintaining both 1.x and 2.x. 

On the other hand, webcomponents.org does make it hard to find older 
versions of the elements, and that's confusing. There are basically 
separate versions of the page for npm and bower versions of the same 
element.

If you find an element via search, and it has an npm version, you'll end up 
on the page for the npm version:

https://www.webcomponents.org/element/@polymer/iron-icon

Click "View Bower Docs" in the left nav to see the bower versions:

https://www.webcomponents.org/element/PolymerElements/iron-icon?bower

Finally, click on the + side on the top of the left column (next to "and 
installed with bower") to show the actual install command.

Thanks,
Arthur
