Tom,
   There are 2 major versions, viz 7 & 8 of AMT/lms. And there is also further subversion. 
The AMT firmware on boards today is either major version 7 or 8. And BSPs can specify which
major version it needs. If the subversion of the lms recipe changes in future, then BSP need
not change to pick up the newer version lms recipe. They automatically will get the latest subversion
of the lms recipe with the desired major version. If not done this way, then full version need
to be mentioned in the BSP configuration. And that will change every time the lms recipe
version is changed.
