Explanation:
This checkbox just checks a txt file in each addon folder. In there is a parameter ##APIVersion: 1000xx
The current API version is 100026. TZhis will increase with patches, so Elsweyr will be 100027.
All this checkbox "enabled" does is check the GetAPIVersion() routine ingame, which currently returns 100026 and in the future 100027 and 28 etc. against the txt files of the addons.
If in the addon is written 100024 it's declared as "outdated". But it might still work (about 95% do!).
So this is no "does the addon really not work anymore" check but only a number comparison, thus nonsense...
Because addon devs do not invest like 10 minutes to update 1 of their about 50 addons just to increase the apiversion, so the users get the idea the addon is "sill up 2 date", where the addon might even be broken and throw error messages ingame. But at least the APIVersion in the txt file is updated :-p
