Well the thing is, that I don’t want to have to rely on a single dimension of
values to switch multiple dimensions of functionality. What happens if people
start using x > 4.8 for detecting FlexJS and assume we release a regular Flex
4.8? What happens then? Things can get really ugly in that case and I am sure
it’s gonna happen soon ;-)
I guess we shouldn’t force a hack in our SDK just because a no longer supported
legacy IDE otherwise doesn’t know how to handle it.
FlashBuilder is one of many IDEs principally setup to handle FlexJS so if this
requires a hack, we should only apply it in case someone uses it.
And I don’t see how this would break things if other IDEs support the “type”
element. Then they would just share a hacked SDK, because then the IDE would
treat it as “flexjs” SDK with a version 4.8.0.8.0 instead of 0.8.0 … no big
deal.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying folks would have to designate
that they are installing an SDK only for use in FB? Why couldn't they
share an SDK between IDEs?
