Hi Joe, My understanding of yesterday's discussion on version compatibility is that 1:1 version match is the SUPPORTED route. If versions don't match, the install would be allowed to continue. However, there's no guarantee on the resulting installation being correct or not. In situations where the versions do not match, we will print errors/warnings and also put messages in log files. Furthermore, we are considering a new field in the manifest so users can explicitly disallow installations to proceed if there's not a 1:1 match.
We will be having a meeting in 15 minutes discussing this project. Please join us if you like.
