Not following. What should the expected behavior be? I suppose we could
move a timestamped version of the old core skin aside, and install the new
version. Is that what you're thinking? You'd end up with something like
skins
Seasons
Seasons.20230422
Standard
Standard.20230422
etc.
But, it's not clear to me why that's any better than what we're doing.
Or, we could do
skins
Seasons
Seasons-v5.0.0a29
Standard
Standard-v5.0.0a29
That's not really an "upgrade", and it's a new pattern for WeeWX, but it's
certainly possible.
Let me know what you're thinking.
