That's the recommendation and best practise to avoid gallimaufry. However, for certain games such as BFME we allow a range of different patches and mods to be played, to accomodate our community in certain cases. Supporting the last official patch makes life easier for the casual player/majority who doesn't know much about all the different options.
"To know what question we may reasonably propose is in itself a strong evidence of sagacity or intelligence. For if a question be in itself incongruous and begs for uncalled-for answers, it holds, sometimes, besides embarrassing the proposer, the disadvantage to seduce the unguarded listener into giving absurd answers, and we are presented with the ridiculous spectacle of one (as the ancients said) milking the he-goat, and the other holding a sieve beneath."
