Ooh. That's a good point...

I've written a few plugins, and the thought of maintaining two versions of
otherwise identical plugins doesn't appeal. It is possible to combine two
versions in the source, and determine which version to build at compile time. 

I don't think it is feasible to have a single plugin provide both v1 and v2 at
run time (say, if a 1.x only host and a 2.x only host are wanting the same
plugin) - the plugin descriptors won't be binary compatible.
