Actually, what Leo's saying makes a lot of sence.
A5-ComponentLocator returns a component.  That component can be 
anything.  Leo's example is a component that implements the A4 
ComponentManager interface (or something equivalent) and as such returns 
an object the implements the A4 Component interface (or equivalent). 
 That means that a A4-A5 migration could be handled very easily because 
your changing one line of code in you component when invoking the 
lookup. The rest of the code base stays the same.
