Incidentally, the worst example of "forced upgrading" that I've
seen recently isn't even a publications tool, but a CAD program.
The latest version not only saves its new work in a file format
that can't be read by older versions (typical), it lacks the ability
to save back to or read from versions older than one release
back.
