I don't think it needs to be possible to install older packages, but I
do want it to be possible to migrate an existing system if it's
remotely doable. That probably means keeping some support for the
share/Shared link in at least SymlinkProgram. Eventually everything
would have been upgraded and it won't be an issue any more, but it
will be during the transition.
