Well, we need more information (or at least I do):
* Is 1.x still supported by upstream?
I don't think so -- the last commit to the "darktable-1.6.x" branch is
just over a year ago, Oct 21, 2015.
* Are there any known 1.x security issues?
I don't think there are any known outstanding ones — CVE-2015-3885 was
fixed in 1.6.7.
* Is the upgrade from 1.x to 2.x transparent for the user? ie, would
they have to do any manual steps to move config? or is that all done
by the application?
It should be transparent, but it _is_ one way — if you make any edits
in the new program, you can't go back.
* Is the "user experence" different between 1.x and 2.x?
Eh. Judgement call. I'd say it's fundamentally the same, but there are
many differences in both functionality and look & feel.
Honestly, I think this is an example of an application which is not a
great fit for EPEL. It'd be better if we would make a Flatpak which
RHEL/CentOS users could transparently use.
