thing is it could be a useful dev tool to check if we haven't forgotten to change our API numbers, but this :
is unrealistic.

You (the author) write an addon working with two API versions, e.g. 100013 and 100014. You are releasing it with a manifest "up-to-date" for current live API (100013) and you tag it as also compatible with 100014 in the manifest:
##APIVersion: 100013
##FastAPI: 100014
Now the Fast API exe knows, that it can safely patch the manifest once 100014 is the new live API and your addon is again "up-to-date".
Fast API will not patch the manifest (without warning the user) to 100015.
^^ And even if it would do: Your addon is written as a hybrid using $(APIVersion), which means nothing is loaded once 100015 is the new API, because no file is found...
