I don't think that's true — people are still implementing WCAG 1.0  
despite 2.0 getting closer to being to a REC. Also, I think if it's on  
a timescale of around a year (which I wouldn't be surprised if it took  
to get another version done).

Those two probably account for a large amount of the RSS feeds out  
there (though, admittedly, uptake of new versions is always a  
challenge). I don't think uptake of the profile is an issue.
