For the work I think you want to do (based on our discussions last week), I
do think you'll want to track pretty close to the latest versions rather
than use an older one, so I do think v10_0 would be an improvement.  That
said, it won't actually address this particular problem, because the demo
package version is too new even for v10_0.

By the way, the existing JIRA issue for this problem is
https://jira.lsstcorp.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa.
