I don't remember who made that decision and why, but CMF 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 
were released with a newer version. I don't think we can revert that 
decision for CMF 1.6.3.

I'm fine with requiring tagged GS releases for CMF *releases*. But 
sometimes it is useful to link unreleased CMF branches to unreleased 
GenericSetup versions. This helps to avoid problems caused by stitching 
in new versions right before a release.
