      At the moment attempting to open a database that was created by a newer version of WiredTiger will fail if there is a base configuration file present.

      That causes problems for any application opening a database across versions.

      It would be better if the options in the base configuration file are checked if the file was created with a different version, and an error is only returned if the included configuration options are not valid.
