Hi,

Being a happy taskwarrior user since years:

Note that users do not always update (full) OS releases, but do
new installs while keeping (a.o.) /home.  So, after installing
that new OS release, users will face the same issue.  Furthermore,
if they are used to install "task", they will install the wrong
version, even if they may want to use the new version.

The fact that v3 does *require* a v2 for exporting is of course a
bad thing, they should have added a export-v2 option or so.  Will
the task v3 warn users if they detect old data?

What is the idea?  To temporarily provide both packages, v2 and v3,
that can not be installed together?

About the naming / versioning part: this probably has happened
before with other packages, I am not aware of all the policies.
But I would think that having task2 for backwards compatibility
would be a better option.  Can't task2 be built in such a way
that it can be installed alongside task (task v3).

Cheers,
