One way we can dodge around this is by changing those assertions to "version X
and later".  Forward-compatibility breaks affecting the stuff we use are so
rare that I think this is safe - and on thoe exceotional occasions they cause
enough ruckus that we are unlikely not to notice.

What do you think of this policy?
