Is there something people are waiting on before deploying Stratum v2?

It seems to me every mining pool should be running it as soon as it's ready.

Theres a few caveats i think...

- not all miners support stratum v2

- to support miners that dont, have to proxy

- allowing hashers to make their own block templates may introduce more overhead to verify?

Also the spec is still a bit in flux, so even some miners that support sv2 need to fall back to sv1 and then use a translator back to sv2.

But people should try it.

I mean miners will need to use a proxy anyway to incorporate their own work whether their miner supports Sv2 or not.
