I was not suggesting that such errors were  acceptable or to be
considered normal, only confirming that they do occur and can be
fixed.

This sounds like an ideal set of QA task(s) to be written up for GCI.

1) Starting form a given version of Sugar, and given a provided list
of activities as defined by ASLO links and version numbers), confirm
compatibility as listed on ASLO and provide data for developing a
compatibily matrix (version of Sugar versus release number of
activity).

2) Highlight instances where the data provided in ASLO is wrong.

2) Define similar tasks for each of several (recent) releases of Sugar.

Please write it up on the wiki and we will try to get some GCI
contributors to work on it.
