Agreed! A linear parser of setup.ini would _definitely_ benefit if - the "current" section, - the most recent [prev] section, and - the most recent [test[ section would have a "fixed" position relative to the package section. I concur. Moreover it would make the "version" comparison superfluous in case one is only interested in the these 3 versions of a package. Being able to skip the "version" comparison is definitely a plus!
