Hi Andrea,
The jump from a lower version to higher version is not the problem. I am
testing jumping from 2.1.x to 2.3.x. My problem is if it must be possible
to go back from 2.3.x to 2.2.x. This is my headache.
Or in other words:
If somebody updates 2.1.x --> 2.2.x and later goes from 2.2.x --> 2.3.x,
all files are there to go back from 2.3.x --> 2.2.x and from 2.2.x to 2.1.x
afterwards.
But if somebody updates 2.1.x --> 2.3.x he cannot go back to 2.2.x (because
it was never installed). Is this ok ?
