I'm dubious of requiring unreleased versions (for an architecture that 
previously worked with released versions), but given suitable releases, 
requiring recent releases for a given architecture may well be appropriate 
if it's required for some feature the architecture maintainers want to 
support now rather than later.  (Cf. how we set the required version to 
6.2 for powerpc64le to facilitate the work towards IEEE long double 
support.)
