In the end, if I hadn't dropped support there wouldn't be any more cool new features.\r\n\r\n>So basically I'm forced to maintain the configuration for 2 versions of Paradox if I want that spacemacs users can continue to enjoy Paradox, which should not be my concern in the first place. \r\n\r\nI promise I'll try to design new releases so that configuration is fully backwards compatible. That is: if you set some variables for the 2.0 version, but the user actually has 1.5 installed, no harm should come of having configured these variables.\r\n\r\nFor the moment, this is still true. The only new variable is the `post-execute-functions`, and using `add-hook` will not throw any errors if the hook variable doesn't exist."}}
