Could you elaborate on "some while" - is it months, years? Or is it something that can't be estimated at this moment.

Low numbers of months. There's a timeline here; we're operating a migration window during which both Flux v1 and v2 are maintained, but expect contributions to Flux v1 to dwindle quickly.

To build on @squaremo 's link to the v2 roadmap, here is an issue fluxcd/flux#3320 with a more specific note on dates for v1:
Once we have reached feature-parity across all current feature sets… we will continue to support Flux v1 and Helm Operator v1 for 6 more months.
Exactly what "support" during that phase will mean here is not yet officially defined – when it will be bug fixes only (no new features), and security fixes only (no more bug fixes), etc. For now, that issue says this:
Flux (v1) is still being maintained and supported, it will just take a bit longer until we get around to issues and PRs. Critical bug fixes have our priority, we are going to be hesitant and look very careful at anything that will extend functionality.
Until that time, there will still be contributions to both v1 and v2, with a progressive tapering off from v1 until only v2 is supported.
