I don't think this is a major concern since trunk will be bumped to
3.6a1pre at the same time the branch is changed to 3.5b4pre. Certainly
it is possible that people using older versions of trunk might end up
installing a 3.5 compatible add-on, but really most people there will be
auto-updating to new nightlies all the time. Anyone staying fixed on
older versions have their own problems to content with anyway.
