That being said if build requirements are not changes due the move upstream 
that makes me want to lean even more to starting a new spell from scratch. I 
agree that if we go the two separate paths it is going to be difficult to 
maintain.

I am leaning away from having older spells for things in the long run. I 
would like to propose that we use only a single version spell and write it 
new to handle the new build environment in Test. We leave Stable as it is for 
the moment, but, when the next branch comes out I would like to (thinking 
long-term) we would nuke the multi-version spell in Stable, move what would 
no be new to Stable, and update the single version spell accordingly in Test.
