And for the record, the point is that the machine version on the
destination side needs to match the source side. So, if the default or
"pc" alias is used in 1.0, which resolves to pc-1.0, then it needs to be
pc-1.0, not pc-1.2. If an explicit machine name such as pc-0.15 was used
then that exact machine must be used on the destination as well.
