Does it work for you if we say 'if you want v2 output, please add --legacy
to your scripts already now'?

The --legacy switch to force v2 output (for compatible input) has been
available for around 6 months, so even if you don't have the bleeding
edge version installed, this should work as a compatibility path, I think?
