I could entertain moving things from v1 to v2 when there's an actual
incompatibility, but
we have backported various optional changes hyper-aggressively, for
instance, so it seems
unlikely that we would really have the same name with different
meanings in v1 and v2 namespaces.

We could of course suggest that our committee friends stop making such
pointless changes as moving
the LFTSv1 things to the LFTSv2 namespace.
