Agreed, this is safer. Although in the unix philosophy you are not
meant to do mistakes, I agree that it is right.

Between ltsp releases there are lots of changes, so it is not obvious
that /etc/sysconfig/ltsp5 will be suitable for ltsp6. Currently
we support ltsp4 with ltsp-utils, and the design of ltsp5 and ltsp4
are very different. Also quite different were the design of ltsp3 and
ltsp4. And in general there are years between releases. Moreover we should
certainly maintain different ltsp releases in parallel, as long as they
are maintained upstream (currently it seems that ltsp4 and ltsp5 
are maintained).

In fact I think that we could even try to ensure that the paths
are version specific such that it will be possible to install in 
parallel ltsp5 and ltsp6. It is not obvious either, especially
for the client nfs root, but this should be considered.
