(I didn't find anything in docs on this.)

Please support Y.js V2 Update Format, which provides much better compression.

Yeah we should do this, but I don't think it'll happen soon; we'd have to make sure it' backward compatible with existing projects/persisted data. Happy to review a PR.

How's about making it a opt-in, so it's easier to get started? New projects could start with V2, and get the performance benefits, right away!

@threepointone What do you think about the previous idea mentioned? If you could outline how this first opt-in version can be added, I'm open to give it a try.

I think just adding an option to YPartyKitProvider would work. So something like { updateProtocol: 'V1' } then using that as a flag to either transform the incoming update via the helper function convertUpdateFormatV1ToV2 (ref) or just directly pass the update.
