Yes, I am one of those.  I use v4l1 for bttv (unpatched kernel), and ivtv
with the videodev2.h that is shipped with ivtv.  Works like a charm
(though i know that some people need v4l2 for their bttv cards.  Mine
works a bit smoother with 2.6 kernels, but there are enough other issues
for me not to go that route right now.)

Anyhow, Isaac is probably right.  the changes that the v4l2 maintainers
made will break lots of binaries, and it is really their problem, not
ours.
