Correct .. it would always require a new release to "tag" code as being 
compatible with a newer version (though of course with the 2.3 as 2.2 it can 
always be forced from the outside).

Since FOSRestBundle as of now works with 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 the symfony version 
requirement should be ">=2.0,<2.3-dev" with this approach. Meaning that it 
would not be marked compatible with dev-master of symfony.

Lukas
