Instead of fixing Elastic Transcoder, there's yet another and better way of doing the old thing. Much similar to what happened with SimpleDB, OpsWorks, etc.

The alternative is shutting down your 1.0 when you release your 2.0. Keeping the 1.0 service running in maintenance mode seems pretty helpful to me.

No, the alternative is a design pattern called Façade, i.e. having the new backend support the old API via a translation layer either in the SDKs or in the infrastructure layer.
