I don't think so. It's a different API with a different underlying data
structure, so it would be a complete BC break to replace libgeoip. It
looks like they are also continuing to patch libgeoip (last update was
less than a month ago) and I haven't seen when they are going to end-of-
life the underlying data structures for that version. Should probably
treat this as a new product as opposed to a v2 of libgeoip. I guess
"successor" was not the term I should have used. More like "new, prefered
alternate".
