I'd consider keeping 1.6 around for now, 1.6 is considered 'stable' where as '2.0.x' is still quite new and fresh. I also see two 'LATEST' pointers here http://bird.network.cz/?download A 1.6 configuration file is not compatible with 2.0 - so people'll need to properly plan their migrations. Would be a bummer if 'pkg_add -u' brings you down. :-) I expect down the road that support for 1.6 to cease to be and bird2 will be the only remaining train. Maybe a new port should be made, 'bird2'? Kind regards, Job
