OK, that is easily fixable. I can raise the version number of the frameworks 
at the beginning of the month (just after the previous release), and raise the 
version number of their required dependencies (which I already do in a second 
step anyway, to keep the CI happy), at the end of the month, just before the 
release.

This will make it possible to hack on a 5.10 framework using 5.9 dependencies,
with of course the small risk that it might not compile if it already uses 
some 5.10 API from a dependency.

This will still require the very latest release though, no hacking 5.10 with 
5.5 installed.
