Since FIDO is a closed forum non-members can only guess what 2.0 brings to the table.

Btw, it is not advisable to buy right now an U2F key right now (Yubico,
Plug-Up, ...) because the FIDO 2.0 specification is on the way, that Windows 10
will probably support it, Chrome OS will update its FIDO support to the next
FIDO 2.0 specification. So, it's better to wait and buy a FIDO 2.0 U2F device.
Right now, it's like 5 years ago when you were buying some devices with USB 2.0
port, whereas USB 3.0 was released: manufacturers are happy to destock their
obsolete technology, but not the consumers. So, for FIDO 2.0, you have to wait
more than 2 months, before you could buy one FIDO U2F 2.0 device.
