It would help if some feature was added, and some numpty (like me) just chucked in the interpreters into the bin folder.
and if an update to the includes is required for some new feature, then the interpreter should halt until the includes have been updated.
This is already the case in the mainline branches (standard 4.0 and 4.1). Halting bug fixes/etc in the mainline branches while someone is doing experimental work in an experiment branch would be seriously impractical - remember that not every such branch and feature ends up getting adopted.
or add --no_version_checking (-nvc) to the command line for experimenters.
I think I see what you mean now. Adding some sort of version check in the includes folder (so an intepreter would know when the include files are too new to be used with it) is a fairly good idea. I think the fundamental issue is different, though - in some cases it's simply not possible to drop in a new interpreter without updating the stdlib as well.
Maybe if xecronix's EuDrop idea gets off the ground, we'll have an easy way to create a dependency and automatically and painlessly update one along with the other, but short of a package repository management system I don't see an easy way out here.
