Perhaps it simply means that if you develop an app targeted at 2.5, you are guaranteed to be able to run that app anywhere web2py itself can run (i.e., down to 2.5), but if you develop an app targeted at 2.7, it will only run on 2.7 (and therefore not everywhere web2py can run). If that's what is meant, it could probably be stated better. It's not really an issue of backward compatibility of the app, I think. Anthony
