[Owncloud] OC4 compatibility FAIL

[Frank Karlitschek]

I added the check so that only apps that are compatible with the current version can be installed. Most of the strange ownCloud 4 bugs reported the last few days are caused because people use incompatible apps. 
App developer have to port and test their app and mark them as compatible with oC 4 before they work.
So this is intended behavior. Similar to browser plugins for example

So in ownCloud 5 no external apps can be installed before having their <require> tag set to a number >= 5. Can someone please explain me the intension of this behavior? Or did I miss something?
