Everyone will *need* bzr 2.0.x, or newer. (2.1.0 recommended,
naturally). bzr has moved to a micro-release every month, so 2.0.0 is
now 7 months old.

2a is much more compact on disk, and faster across the board. But
everyone will need to upgrade their own repositories, which can take a
bit of time (or delete them and pull anew).
