Right now I usually have (under screen) one instance of Emacs for personal projects (for which I try to use the latest Slime and Swank) and one for work (where they do not get updated so frequently), and sometimes I need to start a third instance if I am doing work on an older maintenance branch of the software. It seems like there should be a way to switch between Slime versions within the same running Emacs, but I have yet to figure it out.
Not a direct question to Eli, but why is Slime so version specific anyway?
Ya have to wonder if Slime/Swank should be used Protocol Buffers or Thrift to do their RPC. These both support versioned protocols, and it would be great to have a CL binding to Protocol Buffers.
