a) I don't think harddisk space is a problem, do you?
b) intentions are fine - facts are tough.
I get a lot of email from people who installed an extension of mine
which ran fine under 3.5 and 3.6 and now throuws errors on 3.7.
I stuck to all API functions so I can safely say that I did things right.
But still some API functions behave different now.
This is what I want to get around.

I develop an extension on 3.7 so it's aprooved for 3.7 only. Then I test
it on 3.6 and it still runs fine so I approve it for 3.6 aswell.

nope, thats for the developers (like I stated in my posting).

where? server or developer?

But indicating minimum versions ain't enough like a lot of extensions
show that simply don't work with newer versions even though they stick
to API calls.

?
Above you just said you don't want to have extensions with version flags...
Remember: having version flags does not neccessarily mean you have an
extension mor ethan once in the TER.

well, that was basically what I was talking about...
