Distinguish KGS the concept (a list of locked down versions as 
suggestions to users of the framework) from KGS the implementation.

Let's agree on the *concept* of a locked down list of versions that's 
maintained by the community, or in fact more than one such list.

If people want to diverge in the implementation, fine. Different 
implementations have different advantages during development and deployment.
