Replying to myself :-) I'd also add that "bad" in this context I simply 
understand as "will cause problems". In other words, if you use a "known 
good" version, it should work as intended. If you use a "known bad" 
version, you may (or may not) have problems but some people definitely 
will. So "known bad" doesn't mean unusable, but it means that there are 
known bugs when using it.
