 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".
