Thanks, Shreedhar.
Could you summarize what is supposed to work? E.g.
* Can one upgrade from GF V1 fcs o GF V2 fcs?
* Can one upgrade from GF V1 fcs to GF V2 Mx for some Mx?
* Can one upgrade from GF V2 Mn to GF V2 Mm for some m,n?
Upgradability seems very important if we want aggressive use of the
Milestones, and I think we want that to be sure the final result is as
useful to the customer/community as possible...
Thanks!
