This isn't really efficient because when v2 gets updated now you have to update the translation layer as well.

Any improvements you made in v2 would likely not translate.

Essentially the best way is to provide users with an incentive to switch. Perhaps a new feature or more requests.

Publish v3, then add a translation layer for v2 to v3
