The answer to this is that, although the latest stable MI version is
probably the most stable version to rely upon, the old MI versions are
also supported to the degree that there are tests in the test suite
that exercise them. For example, currently there are tests for mi1
although the latest MI version is mi2.
Of course, bugs in MI versions other than the latest will probably not
be corrected.

Again, the answer is that the support guarantee is the same for the
CVS versions: whatever the test suite exercises is supported to the
same degree.
