It is perhaps possible to upgrade to squeeze, I did not try myself, but 
it is not, as was stated previously by PVE developpers, a supported 
upgraded path to Proxmox VE 2.0. So, if you have VMs in production on 
your systems, it is really not a good idea to go this way. You will 
certainly have a hard time to upgrade to PVE 2.0...

But I asked myself a long time ago (a year ago), to the developpers to 
release a new 1.x version based on squeeze. It would be the first path 
to the upgrade to 2.0, and brings a lot of features available in squeeze 
by itself. And in this case, going to Squeeze, then to PVE 2.0 would be  
a supported path.

PVE 2.0 has a lot of new features by itself (new restful web interface, 
new API, new framework for synchronization , corosync, HA, user 
management, and so on..). So it is perse a big, anf difficult, upgrade. 
Mixing both upgrade to squeeze, and to PVE 2.0 is in my opinion, with 
all the diversity of existing installations, a big challenge, which 
could be risky for installations, as mine, in production...

Just my opinion.
