ATM I think we cannot start doing transformers for 2.x model versions.
If nothing else we are missing baseline support for them (legacy .dmr files, artifacts in maven)

but after that is satisfied there are not more barriers stopping us from doing that.

But I think Paul's question is more in line of what we discussed on call on how to go on with as8 vs eap.

Do the 2.x model versions need to be backwards compatible with 1.x versions?
i.e. Do we need transformers to support a domain with mixed major versions?
I hope not.
