Perhaps the best thing to do would be to have an environment variable  
that we check for the user's version preference?  I imagine that  
developers will (potentially) work on new apps with Rails 2.0 as well  
as maintain old 1.0 apps.  Just because Rails 2.0 becomes the  
standard doesn't mean all old apps become "untouchable" :)

The trouble with this, of course, would be maintenance.  I'm not sure  
if I have the time to do a proper job of this.  Any other ideas or  
offers are welcome.
