You won't have to spend two hours figuring out. If you use a 
feature from a later edition, the compiler will give you an error 
and tell you what you need to do.

I think it's much more frustrating to pull down a new version of 
the compiler and find your current project breaks. You shouldn't 
have to change your code or adjust your build system to use a new 
version of the compiler. It should just work.
