> Backward-compatibility support currently pays attention to a version's Product name and its compareTo method pays attention to the major/minor/etc numerals.  This is an artifact of the GemFireXD effort at Pivotal a few years ago and should be removed.  The Product name is no longer needed at all and compareTo should just compare the version ordinals.
> All places that compare versions should be scrutinized to make sure this change doesn't break anything.
> All methods with names beginning with  toDataPre_ or fromDataPre_ need to be changed to remove the product name and the sanctionedDataSerializables.txt database needs to be updated to have these new method names and fingerprints (generated by the AnalyzeSerializablesJUnitTest).
