Oh FFS...not even ED can be this comical can they?

Even in their uttermost incompetence, I thought they would still be developing on the 2.x branch first so they have read-across to the dead-end 1.x branch. No sir, lets absolutely duplicate effort, double cost and waste as much of our development time, resources and budget as possible.

Why am I even surprised, I most certainly shouldn't be. Can we assume that they're migrating everything from 2.x into 1.x and then when that work is complete they'll put all the code into the bin and start merging 1.x into 2.x as part of the 2.5 merger? Maybe they'll run out of numbers before they get close to 2.5 anyway. (Build 2.499999999999999991546987 adds in the payware Viggen campaign probably)

No wonder ED can't hit any milestones, they work backwards.....perhaps they start off with a 'gold' product and slowly break everything before releasing it as an early access pre-alpha! That might also explain why their campaigns, patches and fixes break everything else.

If I sound dumbfounded. I am.
