There isn't all that much of difference - the majority of it has been moved
into 1.10 at this point.  At the time it had new configuration editors,
revamped menu system, revamped MPL, FTP/POP3/SMTP servers, etc, all of which
as you know are in 1.10 now. :)

These days the real difference is the backend.  Mystic V1 spawns a new process
for each telnet session (only telnet, ftp/pop/smtp/binkp/etc are all same
process) whereas V2 managed telnet sessions within itself.

People liked the idea of having the option to spawn node windows when someone
connects, allowing Sysops to interact with the user similar to the old DOS BBS
days.  The V1 way also allows better integration with 3rd party servers and
daemons.

V2 was just a more modern approach and was faster/more portable because of it.

At the end of the day though, I went with the vote and decided to basically
combine them all into the same thing and call it 1.10.
