I'd like to do this if we could. Only drawbacks I can see are time and imperfect parallels. By time, I mean the amount of time we'd have to spend to support both; that depends on NS2 and the involvement required. As for imperfect parallels, I can see several IDUers (myself, and Antrium if the above post is telling) wanting to refound/continue the region in NS2, but the issues affecting the regions are likely to be different in both, and there are likely to be some different participants in each, especially if NS2 actually starts drawing in new people. Depending on the extent of this, we could see a real difference between the NS1 IDU and the NS2 IDU. This isn't to say that we couldn't keep both going, but that potentially trying to keep the same people going in each may be difficult, depending on what each person prefers.
I'm hoping most of us will be willing to make the jump, but I also hope the IDU can continue in NS1 as long as it can.
