It seems so. Its stupid IMO to bump version to highest possible ignoring
real requirements. For example many specs from HEAD are building
perfectly on Ac after dropping unecessary version requirements. In Ac
case it leads to creating and maintaining unecessary Ac branch. But
well, most of developers says thats good idea. I remember some
discussion about it but unfortunatelly I don't remember any arguments
why it is good solution to bump version everytime something gets updated.
