1. Any style or modification can break at the next minor version.
2. Support team only supports the latest version.

Until these policies are changed specifying a single compatible version seems at least sensible to me.
I guess that makes sense.

I like the idea, both JSON & the seperation of the style versions, although it shouldn't be a hard limit. Warning the user that the style is outdated should be enough.

I'll merge the change now anyway to resolve problems with the updater. I still think we should go the same route as with extensions, and make this the same composer.json format.
