I don't think this is way beyond the scope here at all - this is fundamentally an API issue, and it seems like it would actually be useful and appropriate to talk about it in those terms. Granted there are multiple APIs in use. But the point is that either having different implementations of the same API do the address selection/ordering in different ways, or having new implementations of an API do it differently than old versions, will degrade interoperability.
