How is it more flexible? Also, since this applies only to packages that
include this file directly, it would be much better if the package would
simply allow selection between a number of *supported* versions, rather
than just letting the user put in arbitrary values.

I considered the addition of this file a mistake from the very
beginning, we only left it in for SDK collaboration with Lantiq (which
has dried out).
