If so, this is a *major* No, it doesn't mean that. You can still have both OSs around, and can indeed run 2.0.5 strictly with 2.0R partitions (and, I believe, vice-versa). It's just not recommended as your older 2.0R partitions may not be cylinder aligned or follow the new "slice" rules, in which case you'll forever be using them in the slice code's "compatability mode."
