Comment (by yawning):

 Alternatives:

  * Assuming things go smoothly, if I had a week or two with "this is semi-
 close to what will be shipped", I might be able to get all the changes
 into the agent to keep it happy, as long as people upgrade.

  * I could add a hard coded maxVersion variable or something beyond which
 it nags the user to update the agent, and refuses to update the bundle.
 Annoying, but this would only be an issue on the first release of an alpha
 series (eg: 7.0a1, 7.5a1, 8.0a1 etc etc etc).
