That's not true. (Mass shared hoster kinda guy here) when we pushed a bunch of customers code compiled for .NET 1.0/1.1 over to hosting environments with only CLR 2 available, their code ran just fine. These were .NET 1.0/1.1 assemblies.
There are some edge cases where stuff could break, say when doing reflection or emitting your own IL, but that for most LOB web hosted apps was pretty rare.
I did in fact marvel how backwards compatible CLR 2 was when it first shipped.
