I think this is a BAD idea. Why on earth should one give misinformation about the version of a recipe? Surely it only adds confusion, makes debugging more difficult, and also defeats the purpose of $RecipeInfo, which is supposed to tell you the which version of the recipe is *installed*, not the version you'd *like* to be installed. If you have to change the $RecipeInfo, that seems to me an indication that something is broken, and therefore it should be fixed, rather than whitewashed.
