Maybe you could implement some form of
forGreaterThan: #pharo12 do: [ ... ] ?
but what would you do inside the block?� I guess doing something like "self error: 'Not yet supported'"
We also thought with Dale, what happens if the Pharo version where you are loading it, does not have an entry in that method....suppose I am now in Pharo 1.3, and I send #stableVersion....what happens? Two options:
- Load the latest one, and nobody knows if that will work or not (I don't like this option)
- Thrown an error like "There isn't any stable version specified for this Pharo version" or something like that
what do you think?

so developers do not have to monitor new Pharo versions and update
their configurations. Does it makes sense?
