According to the reports of the people I've talked with about, you can
safely import the old .99 format with ardour 2.0. Has anybody
experienced problems with it?

That's fine for me, but than it will take a while to get into the
pool, because it will be treated as new package and put in hold in the
new queue.

No, that's the only.
