I guess this comes back to metadata.  The GMPI API version(s) need to be
listed in the metadata.

I said version(s) because it is not unimaginable to me that a plugin
would support an older API version, just in case.  That's actually
pretty cool.

Does that very hand-waving answer satisfy your concern?  I see the
problem you raise, and it's a valid point.
