Even if the explanation sounds complex, in practice I don't see this becoming an issue. Do you have a specific concern?
The biggest specific concern is that of technologies like QML and DirectUI/Orbit, or rather, will the same situation as for Java reappear, where one has to target lowest-common denominators which are usually at that point almost semi-deprecated. Synchronized platform releases could help this.
