FTR, I checked the archives.  I only found that FB didn’t like versions <
4.  No idea what will happen if we try 5, 2015, etc.

IMO, FlexJS will help us break away from the “maintaining Adobe” mentality
because it also removes the dependency on the Adobe runtimes.  I don’t
currently envision calling FlexJS "Flex 5".  IMO, one possible definition
of Flex 5 could be adding enough new Spark components that folks don’t
need to fall back to MX anymore.
