We split the community, lose the collaboration between 1.x and 2.x issues (which will be very common), will end up cross-posting things a lot, and would complicate the branding. The branding includes the Github URL, contributors, forks and stars. Those statistics (as superficial as it sounds) are meaningful. They represent the community around the project. Community, branding and marketing are honestly a massive part of a project like this. The code itself honestly is the easiest part."}}
