Hello Leonardo,

Sorry for the late reply. My daughter has just been born so life has 
been kind of hectic recently.

ConfigObj has no support for multiple configspec versions, so I think 
you'll need several different configspec files and select them depending 
on which version you need (as you suggest).

All the best,

Michael Foord
