I honestly cannot see a difference in the UI. Sounds very minor to me.

The 1.x branch is no longer supported, I assume. I can email the list to  
verify.

I would have to release an extension update to update the rulesets anyway.  
The rulesets are updated only as part of the extension. There's no  
separate updater.

No. The SSL Observatory defaults to off due to common corporate policies.  
Less hassle all around.

10.x is probably only coming because 3.6 EOL is approaching. :P

2.0.2 will likely contain a fix for a bug that's been on the bugzilla  
(filed against the Fedora version) for a couple months. I'd like to  
resolve that one in both Fedora and EPEL. :D
