Just one other thing I'd like to throw in there: I'm not convinced that version numbers should be the deciding factor anyway.
It's not unheard of to discover a serious bug in already released software (including addons) which was not discovered in testing. If this instance, the author may well decide to roll-back to a previous version until they can get it fixed. If however Minion is only updating by version number, it's not going to roll back 1.0.2 to 1.0.1. You could of course re-release 1.0.1 as 1.0.3, but that introduces a regression in your release line, which is generally considered bad practice.
Personal opinion, and I'm sure there will be plenty who disagree, the best thing I think Minion can do is to update the users addons to the release listed as current on WoWI, and users have to take resposibility for ignoring those addons which are not updated as frequently on WoWI as Curse.
No amount of software can ever eliminate user responsibility.
