Yes, absolutely. That seems to be the world we are all heading into, with online apps and automatic, compulsory updates even for locally installed software. These are created by programmers who don't have to live with the real world consequences of failure - from annoyed phone calls to complete business collapse - they just fix the bugs and all is well....

At this time, you cannot request a specific version. The most current version is always loaded. It can't be loaded locally either.

So basically I can wake up one day and the PDF viewer won't work for my users because something was broken?

Well, it's also possible that a browser update would render past versions inoperable as well. Breaking changes are always a possibility. 

That said, if we were to support loading specific versions, do you expect major and minor releases to be supported or just major? How many versions back would be reasonable? What would you like to happen if a release "aged out" being available?
