I'm going to spell this out for you because I can't believe how obtuse you're being about this. (Note also that I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and your software. I've purchased LaunchBar in the past and was a die-hard power user of Quicksilver until Alfred came along. Your user interface in v1 was brilliant and utterly intuitive.)
When I read in The Verge that v2 was out of beta. I immediately went to the site to download it. I was expecting something on the front page indicating "hey v1 user, here's how you get v2." What I got instead was nothing at all. I thought, "hey maybe I should just download it." So I clicked on the download link and finally saw something for v1, which was about getting upgrade pricing for the Power Pack. I knew that I'd want that so I went ahead and bought it.
By then my download had finished, so I ran Alfred. Huh, looks exactly the same. Went to /Applications and saw "Alfred 2." I thought that was strange, but I'm easy-going. I started it and looked through the preferences that come up. Everything's empty and even my minor choices weren't observed.
So I go to Alfred support. No mention there, no search results, nothing. Okay, maybe it's in the forum. Click over there and there was one thread about upgrading (at the time). I read through all of that and the last reply was from 2/28. It was from David Ferguson and it was from the beta period. He said that maybe they'd come up with a migration workflow to include in the final release. No link to his personal blog, no indication that it made it into the final release.
At this point, I realized I was entirely on my own and wrote my posts. Later in the day David Ferguson linked to his workflow, which is very handy. I received your defensive responses about how different all of these settings are and how human intelligence is necessary to manually copy the extensions over because then we can really re-evaluate whether we're using the full power of the Workflow. (If you guys had just copied them in and gave me an alert that they probably needed some tweaking, I promise I would've done that. I've been doing Web applications for 14 years now and I have done quite a few migrations--heck, I even merged two separate applications into one and handled all of the data importing--so please spare me about how it couldn't have been done, especially when you also point out that you were completely rewriting the application. 80% migration and punting on the really dodgy pieces would have spared me this whole unpleasantness and the coming manual waste of time.)
My points are that I shouldn't have had to work this hard to a) find out that automatic migration wasn't possible, figure out that dfreg.us is a member of the Alfred team, and c) discern that his migration workflow is the official tool. If there had been a migration page, which could not have delayed the launch by more than a day if at all, then I could have gone there, downloaded the workflow, and read how you've punted on helping me with any other pieces.
That is what I meant by "bad form."
