I do not agree... sure it might be better to have simpler versions but that's not the point. I can change this in prismstumbler because I maintain it, but this world is not perfect we will run into the same situation again with another package. These "pre" versions are quite common and the documentation explains how to handle these already so we should be able to teach our software to do the same. That's way better then teaching users and even if it does not work in all cases it is quite likely to be more reliable than having a guideline for it.
