Will there be a 3.2 Mylyn, or will it stay named as Mylar to allow upgrades?
Since we are committed to having a 3.2 release of our 2.0 release, yes,
the plan is to have a 3.2-based Mylyn as well.
Is the Mylar plugin still upgradable to Mylyn, or does it mean a re-install?

IMHO, the procedure:
* Export Tasks
* Uninstall Mylar
* Install Mylyn
* Import Tasks
should also work. It is not as smooth, but the rename is not happening every day, though.
I don't think that it is smooth enough for the average use because of
how hard it is to uninstall things in Eclipse (especially 3.2). Also,
many users have numerous versions of org.eclipse.mylar plug-ins
installed since they have been using "Search for updates". And the
bottom line is that we dread thinking of the tens of thousands of users
having to waste time on taking up to an hour for going through those
steps when what we're trying to do is save people time ;)
So thanks to some OSGi version trickery, when you update to Mylyn, the
old plug-ins will automagically stop working and users should have no
additional update steps.
