In practice, we only maintained one older version for anything
in development, but froze anything we gave to end-user customers.
Since this is a **kernel** api we're talking about, I wouldn't
keep more tan one "old" version.

The Multicians never seemed to get more than one old version,
but that assumed a very active support process to keep all
the customer machines sufficiently current.
