Yep, by "revamped" I meant Fragments. From Reto Meier's blog: http://blog.radioactiveyak.com/2011/02/strategies-for-honeyc...

Apparently the new Fragments API will be (is?) available on pre-Honeycomb devices as a static library, and I'm guessing there will be some compatibility with the 'legacy' Activity API in Honeycomb. Still I'm guessing there will be rough edges and unexpected incompatibilities, as there are between 1.x and 2.x versions.

With Bump 2.0 we decided to throw out 1.x. We are only supporting Android 2.0 and up, 1.x is small enough that it doesn't matter for us anymore. This way we can focus on making the app that works better with a smaller number of differences to deal with.

That said, yes, there are definitely rough edges in 1.x to 2.x, hopefully less so to 3.x. I think only time will tell as things surface in communities like Stack Overflow.
