The RegAPI system is in perpetual beta and often prone to downtimes and other oddities. RegAPI 2.0 is supposed to be more stable and just better — and possibly come out of beta. D. Graham tells of some reasons why the 2.0 system is delayed.  

Ian Wilkes, VP System Engineering @ LL, was over here in Japan, and
discussed the restructuring of Second Life data services. In essence the
current data scheme is like spaghetti, with a variety of servers doing a
variety of tasks, all poorly. LL is currently working hard to restructure
the servers to be more efficient and handle greater loads.

Avatar registration and account maintenance/inventory are major components
of the data structure.

While the RegAPI may seem like an independent node - it is quite interwoven
with the rest of the data structure. So, there is a lot of work that needs
to be done around RegAPI2.0 before it can be released - i.e. its gotta work
with the rest of the components.
