[OE-core] proper(?) way to *require* an earlier, unsupported version of a recipe file?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  what is the OE philosophy for preferring an earlier version of a
recipe file that doesn't even exist anymore?  for example, the
"watchdog" recipe was recently upgraded from 5.11 to 5.12.  in the
process, the recipe file for 5.11 was removed; therefore, i interpret
that as that OE-core no longer supports that version, which is fine.

  hypothetically, what if someone still *needed* that earlier version?
would it be their responsibility to, say, create a new layer that
re-introduced that older, now-unsupported version?  just curious.
