click packages, to this date, only care about the "framework" it supports.

So if the click is meant to be used on things out in the wild, sticking to 
the latest supported framework that was added to rtm (14.10) is what you 
should be done. In other words this means you can add features to the clock 
that don't depend on new platform features.
