Actually, my solution implements the config "on device" as a uci parameter, so the "on device" version is actually not the version of the firmware installed, but of the config installed. Therefore, one may indeed go that road to prevent flashing an incompatible backup. However, I don't think you can use it for much else. Despite, I still have received no positive feedback about that change at all, so I'm not sure whether it will go in at all.
