I wouldn't use any of these, either. I can't think why you'd want to
unconditionally say you're supporting/familiar with/whatever any future
release that may come down the pike. My resume specifies each release or the
latest release I'm familiar with; in manuals, when discussing compatibility,
I list the releases:
* MS Bloat versions 2.2, 4.0, and 5.1
* MS Thingie versions 95-2000
