Actually I think I should be okay, I found 
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Versioning_Policy which cleared up 
some of what you said (I didn't understand why two versions).  Also you 
sentence was a bit mangled, but I guess you mean set PREFERRED_VERSION 
to OPENWRT_VERSION for the openwrt packages, and when you override 
OPENWRT_VERSION you automatically get e.g master for the full set of 
openwrt packages by default.

Daniel
