A much better idea; "A revision feature" is made available under the new 
name delegating to the old name and instructing P2 to relax upper bounds 
on version dependencies. The revision feature could be contributed to 
the train by any project that has an ongoing interest in the required 
project and which is prepared to do at least some exercising to 
demonstrate that the reused feature with relaxed version upper bounds is 
useful.
