[Owncloud] OC4 compatibility FAIL

[Florian Rüchel]

I would prefer a warning and let the user decide. For example you could
create a "compatibility mode", basically disabling the check and any
others if it is active. Thus the user knows that certain bugs may be
because of incompatibility.
You could then provide a list of such incompatible apps so the user can
check for new, adapted versions.

Cheers,
Florian

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?
