FWIW, I'm for option B, combined with clear timeline for porting features
of fuel-variant to fuel2. For example, we are developing client-side
functions for fuel-octane (cluster upgrade) extensions only for fuel2, and
don't plan to implement it for 'fuel'.
The main reason why we can't just drop 'fuel', or rather switch it to fuel2
syntax, IMO, is the possibility that someone somewhere uses its current
syntax for automation. However, if the function is completely new, the
automation of this function should be implemented with the new version of
syntax.
