You used to be able to have a versioned install of a package, and then
load a particular version. Not sure when it was removed.

See the NEWS files.

Anyway, it was always intended for development purposes only. You can still install various versions into separate libraries and explicitly load from such libraries. Both, the removed feature and my suggested workaround were/are *not* intended for "production use".

Best,
