Hello!
I'm not sure where should I post this, If I'm wrong, please, direct me.
-------
Drupal 8 evolves very fast and there are a lot of situations when module does not support "new" d8 subversion, but supports "old". It causes a lot of difficulties for me as for developer: I can not just check module and say "yes, it supports my website". Also It hampers me when I'm trying to understand what module should I use and etc.
I can give an example: "rest" module. It has broken backward compatibility with previous module version and a lot of modules like "restui" and "rest_api_doc" become broken after 8.2 published.

I want to suggest a new functionality for modules: a "Drupal subversion compatibility" field:

With this instrument maintainers will be able to check their modules in case of new Drupal subversion and provide us an information about it.
Now they can only wrote about this in description without any standards (like here).
