I don't understand the inconvenience. Just have multiple
compilers installed. It's not rocket science.
Different front-end versions are not guaranteed to be ABI
compatible. You always need to use same compiler version within
one application and using library that is not updated to latest
version forces you to use that old version in your own code too.
