No. V2.0 is going to be on a completely new engine.
And SE are paying good money to good people to develop it, specifically to suit this game. There is nothing technical that a modder can or should do at this point to assist - I wouldn't want a stranger telling me how to do MY job. Suggestions and ideas on direction offered through these forums are fine, but not the back-end fiddling.

Now once the engine and UI for v2.0 enter a state considered "finalised", that's a different matter. Then you can go nuts. And Yoshi-P has indicated an interest in eventually opening up the UI source code of v2.0 to facilitate this, but not until it's ready at a base level. They have a plan to follow through on first.
