That won't work in practice, unless those can be
(semi-)automatically generated. Experience shows that all
programmers are lazy, and seldomly go extra miles.

Having a simple version string, and some volunteers testing uploaded
extensions on the extension repo sounds much more workable - and
useful in practice, since no syntactic compatibility one could come
up with would ensure semantic equality...
