Comment(by dgilmore):

 buy forcing the old libraries we can cause issues for other users of
 sugar,  We also increase greatly the maintenance burden since we are
 unable to lean upon others.  first thing they will say is test with the
 newer version.

 No OS ever has supported downgrading. we just can not support it.  its
 insanity to try.  if in a deployment some have update.1 and some have 8.2
 we could end up with weird collabaration bugs.  not to mention bugs with
 people using the same activity version on two vastly different code bases.
 Once we deploy this we have to be sure that every upgrade works as
 expected.  having to revert is a failure by us.  people testing  should
 backup the data they want to keep on the XO regularly.  We should not the
 issue in the Release Notes.  but we cant support what you are proposing.
