Yes, but it won't be the default.

I surely want to run 1.8 if 2.0 doesn't know about my connections :)

My point here is what should the default be ?

The current default is that upgrading from 1.8 to 2.0 creates a fresh
configuration, loosing the old one (plugins included).
I find this pretty annoying, as a user.

If I understand correctly, the risk with using the same configuration
with both 1.8 and 2.0 is that configuration changes I make while running
with 1.8 would be immediately visible when running 2.0, and vice-versa.
Sounds like a feature to me, not like a problem. So, what's the problem
with that, exactly ?
