--- Comment #1 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
This would be very difficult to implement cleanly.

The context version selection is performed in the Mapper. The Mapper re-uses
the same code for host, context and context version selection. The code has
been carefully tuned over the years.

The cleanest implementation I can come up with is an option to specic a custom
version comparator for a host and then have the Mapper use the custom
comparator for the context version if provided. Even that will be a little
messy and end-users would have to be very careful with the comparator
implementation to ensure a) it gave the desired results and b) it was
performant.

Given the difficulties, I'm going to resolve this as WONTFIX since I think it
is very unlikely that a patch will be produced. That said, if someone wants to
take a look at this then please go ahead. Once you have a patch ready for
review attach it to this issue and re-open it.
