+                If Build History is enabled, reports when a package
+                being written out has a lower version than the previously 
+                written package under the same name.
+                If you are placing output packages into a feed and
+                upgrading packages on a target system using that feed, the 
+                version of a package going backwards can result in the target 
+                system not correctly upgrading to the "new" version of the 
+                package. 
+                <note>
+                    If you are not using runtime package management on your 
+                    target system, then you do not need to worry about
+                    this situation.
