I think that it may be a good idea to plug-in a warning message 
as well when this incompatibility is found (during the installation
phase only).

That way, the user is encouraged to use the newer stage1 but can
continue to the older stage1 at their own risk.

I think the warning patch and the proposed patch to the stage1
installation are disjoint so both can be put in concurrently.

Regards,

Kapil.
