I don't think the new manifest rules are because of any actual restriction or the engine, maybe I'm wrong but it was my impression that the change is mostly just Google wanting to control what users can do with their browsers even more (and always in ways that make them profit of course). So they should be able to keep V2 support if they're willing to be on the hook for keeping it maintained themselves.
