I don't think either of those is what I need:

If I drop appVersion, I'd get activities that run only on Sugar-0.92
and are incompatible with Sugar-0.90 (none right now, but I forsee a
couple appearing before mid-April arrives). I want activities that are
compatible with Sugar-0.90.

If I use a collection, the versions are fixed to the exact versions
that I add to the collection, whereas (see last mail) I want the
latest activity version compatible with Sugar-0.90.
(please correct me if I've misunderstood what a collection is)


I'm now feeling more confident that my current approach is correct. Thoughts?
