That sounds like a fair suggestions.
Do you mind filing bug against PDE?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=PDE
By the way, in 3.5M2, PDE added support for flagging missing version

versions. That should help people if they want to make sure version
constraint information is included on their projects.
