Building CIQ 5 devices (e.g. fr955) in SDK 4.2.4 results in error claiming "SDK 5.0.0 or greater" is required - shouldn't this be SDK 7.1.0?

Example of error message:

ERROR: Device 'fr965' requires an SDK version of 5.0.0 or greater to be compiled. The current SDK version is 4.2.4. Update your SDK using the Connect IQ SDK Manager.

This doesn't make sense to me because:

- There was no SDK 5.x. Afaik, SDK versions went directly from 4.2.4 to 6.2.0

- SDK 7.1.0 is the first SDK to support CIQ 5.0.0

It seems that the minimum SDK for CIQ 5 devices should actually be 7.1.0

Currently an older SDK such as 6.4.2 (or anything less than 7.1.0) can currently be used to build CIQ 5 devices. If my statement above is correct, then this behavior is wrong.

    But the problem still exists in 6.* SDKs. The point of the error is to prevent people from building with old SDKs, right?

    I would argue that this is a WONTFIX at best, not a "Complete" issue, unless something else happens to address the issue.

    Going forward, people will still be able to use SDK 6.* to build System 7 / API 5.* devices, and it's possible people will continue to file spurious bug reports about how things don't work as a result (either in the sim or the real device).
