To get a wildcard match (or a prefix match) for version upgrades, I'ld
be willing to have that error if I give a bad set of version matches.
If only have those 2 lines to manage, it's a lot more likely I won't
mess them up than if I have to manage 30 almost identical lines and
not miss/duplicate a version.
