No, because you can't push/pull between darcs-2 format and 
darcs-1/hashed formats.  Hashed format is backwards compatible, darcs-2 
format is not.

Basically:

- darcs-1 format for shared repositories with darcs 1 users
- hashed format for repositories used by darcs 2 users that interact 
with repositories in darcs-1 format (I think that --hashed should be the 
default for darcs get, and have been meaning to mention it as a good 
idea for a darcs 2 user's defaults files)
- darcs-2 format for when everyone is ready to use darcs versions >= 2
