Its not like they are going to kill version 2 instantaneously. There will definitely be lots of more releases in series 2. Currently they are even supporting series 1 so killing series 2 is simply out of question. Support for series 1 will go out on till April 24, 2007. Version 3 just means an absolutely new branch with highly improved gecko engine...having lots of new features. On the other hand series 2 will be maintained for security, performance and will have continued refinement going in it. That is (and should) how professional software companies work
