[David Easter <deaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Aleksey,

  This is great news.  The ability to not only manage previously deployed
versions but also now the ability to deploy an older distribution version
will strengthen the upgrade story further.  Glad to see that we were able to
enable both use cases.

Thanks,

-Dave Easter

Meg, 

>>> Just to clarifiy, does this mean that the drop-down on this page will have
four items?

Yes.

>>> What if I install 5.0.1 directly rather than upgrading from 5.0?  Will this
drop-down  then have only the two 5.0.1 releases?

Yes.

The same for 5.1 etc. When you upgrade 5.0 -> 5.0.1 -> 5.1 there will be 6
releases in drop-down.
Older releases presence is required to provide support of previously
installed environments.
