I do convert my RAW files to DNG when I import them into Lightroom (Lightroom does work with the latest Camera Raw version). I just think it is inconvenient to have to use a separate application for RAW conversion, and I do not believe there is any technical reason why Adobe could not let CS2 support the latest Camera Raw version.
