Since both 1.xx and 2.x will coexist for a long time, it is more
important than ever to mention the version in the subject line.
I just hope that 1.x will die very fast - to be blunt, it was outdated
to a certain part already when it was released, we as the SeaMonkey
project did only build and release 1.x so that there is something out
there with our brand and that the partially developed Mozilla 1.8 would
be in the hands of people while we would work on the real new suite,
which has taken longer than we hoped but is reality as the 2.0 release now.

Keeping in mind all the hard work it took to get where you are today -
all those who contributed deserve to be commended -, I can understand
how you feel about the transition from 1.1.18 to SM 2.0.
I nevertheless believe it will take quite some time before SM 2.x offers
the features - or the adequate workarounds for those which are not
replaced - that lots of users appreciate in 1.1.xx. Updating add-ons and
probably creating new ones will also be necessary.
Realistically, it will also take quite some time before the bugs which
quite normally will start appearing as usage develops (as is always the
case even for the best products) can be corrected.
Bottom line is, I do hope you and your team will show consideration and
understanding for the users who will remain faithful to 1.1.xx until
they are comfortable making the switch, especially knowing that, if
IIRC, SM 2.1 will adopt the FF bookmarks system.
This being said, kudos for this achievement!
