A thought, should we at some point switch the default in sorcery to be
version 2 and just add API_VERSION files to set it back to 1 for those
sections that still have version 1 spells? Are we far enough along to do
that now?

Another option would be to forgo the API_VERSION 1 files and script adding
BUILD_API=1 to every spell that isn't currently set to version 2 at the
spell or section level. This would mean no one would have to worry about
setting version 2 for a spell at all when copying it around, and people who
edit version 1 spells are already supposed to convert them to version 2
along the way...
