Da steht einiges in den Release-Notes ganz oben.

Ich zitiere mal einige Punkte aus den Release Notes:
"IMPORTANT NOTES, PLEASE READ
Primary Known Issues
• Lightroom 2.0 beta will not upgrade Lightroom 1.x libraries. The beta is intended to be used for testing and feedback purposes. Lightroom 1.x and 2.0 beta libraries will be migrated to the finished version of Lightroom 2.0.
• While data loss is not expected, this is a very early ‘beta’ quality build and you should always work on duplicates of files that are securely backed up.
• Lightroom 2 beta will not overwrite or interfere with a machine that currently has Lightroom 1.3.1 installed.
• Develop settings applied in Lightroom 2.0 beta are not guaranteed to transfer correctly to the final version of 2.0. This is particularly true for localized corrections.
• The new Photoshop integration functionality is only available with Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) and should only be used for testing purposes. Metadata associated with the original file may not carry over to the subsequent file saved from Photoshop
• Additional known issues are listed below."

Ich denke mal, daß sich Adobe damit absichern will, daß jemand, der die Beta schon produktiv einsetzt, sich im Falle des Datenverlustes, oder falls ihm der Upgradpreis dann doch zu hoch ist, nicht beklagen kann, daß er etwa seine V1.4 Kataloge problemlos importieren konnte. Adobes Interesse liegt wohl darin die Anwender zu Testen einzusetzen und entsprechende Rückmeldungen zu bekommen.

Nun muß halt jeder selbst entscheiden, was er macht.
