Backward Compatibility Discussion

[ChefZander]

I was talking with frog about this in Discord. What is your opinion? Can, should SBZ support outdated luanti versions?
Currently it's only compatible with latest stable, 5.15, but i was thinking it would be good to support at least 2-3 minor versions behind.
To enforce this, maybe add a paragraph to CONTRIBUTING and refuse to accept PRs that break compat.
My reasoning is that people (which includes me) don't often update their luanti, this goes especially for phone/mobile players where the updates themselves can lag behind. That is why i think supporting a couple versions behind can be good.
What do you think?

i think sbz should at least tell you when your game version is outdated

I think contentDB also hides packages that aren't supported by your luanti version which is a problem because there isn't really any reminder/reason for you to update

i'm fine with that decision, but i still think we should cater to latest stable release only, or at most 1 version behind.
