So we have Adobe Air 3.6 set up as an application and deployed to a
collection with all systems in it as required. We also have Adobe Air 3.7
set up as an application that supersedes and replaces 3.6, deployed as
required to our pilot collection.

Adobe Air 3.7 installed correctly on systems in the pilot collection, but
on the next app eval cycle they downgraded to 3.6. These computers are
still in the 3.6 collection. Our understanding was if an application
supersedes another application, and both apps are deployed to that
computer, the superseded app would be skipped.

Is supersedence working as expected, or do we have a problem in our
environment?

I know supersedence works when both apps are deployed to the same
collection, but it doesn't seem to work when they are deployed to different
collections which is how we wanted to use it.

I realize it doesn't make much sense to have Air 3.6 still deployed to a
computer we want Air 3.7 on, and I've finally got my boss to agree so we
are setting up excludes now. The issue is they want assurances that if Air
3.6 and 3.7 are deployed to the same computer in different collections,
supersedence will make sure the newest version is always put on. I thought
that's how supersedence worked, but it looks like I'm wrong... maybe?
