Ok, now I'm very confused ...

The newt tool is what is used to BUILD newt apps, etc. The newt-core stuff is 
what the apps are built out of. So what I'm getting here is that an out-of-date 
newt tool will build bad mynewt apps, even if all the parts that are used in 
the app are correct?

If that's correct, I think the newt tool desperately needs a 'self-update' 
command that will update newt itself, and possibly detect when newt is out of 
date, because ... well, having the software built by the tool be bad because 
the tool is out of date is no so good and will definitely confuse users sooner 
rather than later.
