The BA would then get the switch and may not understand or handle it.
Core wire format shouldn't need to change and any messages between bundles
could be versioned like Windows messages if absolutely necessary.

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] Burn protocol version check breaks sticky patching
Does it even matter if there's a value to the switch as long as any
switch that starts with burn. is ignored?
Alternately, we could (should?) separate the Burn wire protocol from the
private command-line switches, as they have different compatibility bars.
