Aha. Kind of like the old versions file that used to float around.

Seems reasonable (if a bit less automatic than someone like me who wants ..
to use the layer like a black box)

Luckily I have push access to that layer, so I can make a change like that
;)

One final question, is it considered a design option to set those versions
triggered off an IMAGE or DISTRO
feature ? i.e. in anonymous python .. or is that already too late in the
parsing/resolution process ?
