I understand that there has to be a match between versions. What
wasn't perfectly clear to me was whether or not macports could use a
disabled (already installed) version with matching options or not
(possibly by switching versions back and forth).

But anyway, I somehow believed that this would not qualify as a flaw,
I only wanted to make sure.

Thank you for clarification.
