Hm.
When I returned to oe 2 months ago I just created new recipes for new
versions (as was the common practice when I started my extended
vacation 2 years ago).
However at some point I stumbled upon
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Upgrading_Packages and started
using git mv (2 years ago the cumulation of recipes already became
cumbersome).
Part of the problem is that there is no good "algorithm" to decide
whether to keep the old version or not.
