and Graphene 1 and Graphene 2 follows that pattern.
Drone will make sure it instantiates right version for you.
Graphene 2 is the one which we focus development on - it is planned to have all features of Graphene 1 migrated to Graphene 2.
In the future, Graphene 2 will likely get functions which aren't available for Graphene1, e.g.:
