So you will be able to run old 0.1 clients - that's the thing - nothing changed after the refactoring

no you won't because old clients use the original signature verification algorithm but BSV for all transactions (unlike bitcoin) is enforcing a new algorithm that is outlined in BIP-143 known as Transaction Signature Verification for Version 0 Witness Program, that is a part of SegWit soft fork.
https://github.com/bitcoin-sv-specs/protocol/blob/master/updates/uahf-technical-spec.md#req-6-3-use-adapted-bip143-hash-algorithm-for-protected-transactions

ps. that is the absurdity of both bcash and bcashsv. they both bashed SegWit a lot and they both adopted most of it. heck bcash addresses are even bech32 addresses (new format that is used only by SegWit addresses)!!!

Nope - not for refactored BSV
