I agree that the V1 CR should be abandoned or replaced with a completed
snapshot of V2. Though it would be useful to ask a wider community about
the value of moving some flavor of V1 to REC.
What's the benefits from having a REC based on v1 even if we know it is
already obsolete?
People who can happily use the obsolete version, but need something
stable, can refer to a well-known version they use, that others can also
use.
This gives far better, although incomplete, interoperability than if
everyone who wants a stable reference more than something they have to
invest in watching, and reacting to, continuously, refers to a random
update.
