 It seems to me that if you have a security fix that is really that major,
 you could use the filter to not allow a downgrade from it.  I know that's
 another step for the plugin developer, but I *do* see reasons to allow the
 user to downgrade.

 Consider this scenario: You have added feature X.  The user upgrades to
 the new version.  They realize that the plugin now conflicts with another
 plugin they have.

 I think in this case the user should be able to decide if feature X is
 worth removing the other plugin or if they want to just downgrade and
 report the problem.

 Similar to the above scenario, giving the user the ability to "undo" an
 upgrade may actually cause users to upgrade more often simply because it
 gives a feeling of security.
