I don't think so, and I have never seen a new 1.x release since
darktable 2.x has been released

No action is required by the user

It is almost the same, even if there are more features on 2.x

I don't think so -- the last commit to the "darktable-1.6.x" branch is
just over a year ago, Oct 21, 2015.

I don't think there are any known outstanding ones — CVE-2015-3885 was
fixed in 1.6.7.

It should be transparent, but it _is_ one way — if you make any edits
in the new program, you can't go back.

Eh. Judgement call. I'd say it's fundamentally the same, but there are
many differences in both functionality and look & feel. 


Honestly, I think this is an example of an application which is not a
great fit for EPEL. It'd be better if we would make a Flatpak which
RHEL/CentOS users could transparently use.
