Guedsing from observation what has happend in the past, I think that 
sysexts are only expected to work with the TYPO3 version they are shipped.

Makes some sense as they are usually also some kind of playground for 
new API features.

But I agree that this is annoying as it means there are no intermediate 
updates between TYPO3 versions.
