I know exactly that at least 2 years ago some people were still using IB4.2, 
i.e. ODS8.

Certainly, the process of ODS increment since ODS8 was not like it was 
supposed initially - all that changes being supported by single engine are 
just minor, not major. But it was done, may be it costs us a few extra checks 
in the code, but I do not think that we should discuss it infinitely - 
instead it's better to start correct ODS numbering since current ODS11.
