I expected as much.  What I really wanted to see was what exactly you did to introduce the new version file.  I was expecting that I could back port that (small change?) to the old version to verify that all was good.  Perhaps I am missing something, but this one difference seems like it would be quite small and easy to back port.  That pathway seems less invasive than attempting an import of the whole thing.
