Epub2 is now totally dead. Deprecated almost 15 years ago (first approved epub3 spec was dated, October 11, 2011). Nothing new should ever be created in epub2.
Good, spec compliant Epub3 readers are now broadly available and making epub3 backwards compatible with the old epub2 spec is possible.
This forum's love and support for a long dead specification is really misguided.
Fair warning: At some point, Sigil will eventually drop support for creating new epub2s and when asked to load one, it will eventually use integrated code (based in my ePub3-itizer plugin) to generate an epub3-only version for editing and saving.

Interesting Info. As far as I know I still have many epubs2 in my calibre database. Would it then be better to convert all of them to epub3 in order to be "future-proof"? Or can I simply leave them as is?
And how do I find all the epub2 books in my calibre database?
