I can't follow you here:
The old one is clearly shown as an old one in the download list of that popup, if you use the EOSUI website.
Users should just read then and wait for the update to be acknowledged
They are always able to use the file list of the addons to download even versions from 1 year ago so this was always a manual decision, no matter if it makes sense or not
Minion3 is just buggy and shows the old one as update but it cannot do it until it was acknowledged. So it does nothing.
Minion4 will fix this.
