cause V2.0 isnt for another 12 months MINIMUM!
It's a lot of work to make a game, let alone overhaul a game. I see nothing wrong with this. By the time 2.0 is released a lot of issues will be resolved which is holding back a lot of fixes and content (and making it unnecessarily harder to do so till then) thus the 'wait till 2.0'.

So it is indeed being used constructively.
