Thanks for noticing this - this idea was carried over from last year's
list, and that's why the link points to an old version.  I've updated
the link on the wiki to the newer one you gave above.

I think it makes sense to support the latest version as the priority,
with support for older versions possibly useful if there's time.

Cheers,
