Compatibility and Expectations

[jdhitsolutions]

Looking ahead to when v3 is released and no longer marked preview, I'm assuming that when a user runs Find-Module using PowerShellGet v2, they'll see v3 and run Update-Module. But now, the user will have two versions of the module but with different commands. That sounds confusing to a new PowerShell user. I guess it will be up to people like me to educate them. I know it is too late now, but I wish v3 went with a new name where we could have a migration path from v2 to v3. And maybe there is something being planned that I haven't seen.

My concern is about the user experience having 2 versions of PowerShellGet and navigating some unknown migration path.
