v2 is currently a technology study, lead by Pengutronix developers
(mainly Sascha Hauer), which shows where *we* do currently see weak
points in the U-Boot design and how things could look in the future.

I doubt that there will some point in time where everyone will just
switch over; what will happen depends very much on how much people look
at the code, see the shiny beauty of these ideas and start contributing
:-)

People have contributed in the past, they still do, we do active
development on it for real life customer projects, because it solves
real problems. So it will evolve over the time. Anything else is a
matter of community activity.
