I believe the point David is trying to make is that someone might take
an 9.2 version of a contrib module and manually install it on an 8.4
server by executing the install script, perhaps with some amount of
hackery.
But I don't think we're required to support that case. If the user
does a non-standard install, it's their job to deal with the fallout.
