It means that you cannot have ARS 7.0.1patch 5 and Mid-tier 7.0.1 p2. The components' patch levels must match where they are all 7.0.1 patch 3 and below or all are 7.0.1 patch 4 and above.

It means you can be on any version.. Or am I interpreting it wrong?

Per the 7.0.1 Compatibility Matrix: "Use of webservices requires that all ARS/Mid-tier/Admin Tool components be at 7.0.1 patch 004 or above, or all be at 7.0.1 patch 003 or below". 7.0.1 patch 004 introduced a new way of handling webservice namespace. We use web services and had to upgrade ARSystem to 7.0.1 patch 004+ before we could use mid tier 7.1 or above. Our web services had to be rewritten with this upgrade. I will say that it was worth the pain -- midtier 7.x is much better...

To the best of my knowledge you can go to Mid-Tier 7.5 too and not face any issues..
