A complication I see with this is in the event that the user actually enables
both (or more) versions of the add-on. Assuming that the add-on(s) make
additions/overrides to the UI in the form of panels, menus, and hotkeys,
there's no easy way to differentiate what UI element belongs to which version
of the add-on.
So perhaps I'm stating the obvious, but in order for this to work, a check
should be included to prevent multiple enabled instances of the add-on. The
question then becomes: how does that get implemented and enforced?
