To determine whether a config file syntax matches the current config syntax version, right now VyOS uses files in /opt/vyatta/etc/config-migrate/current/
Each file lives in its own package now, so without a live system next to you, it's very hard to find what the current versions are.
It would be better to move them into a single file in a simple format (e.g. JSON) and add library functions and utilities for reading them.

Moving to 1.3.x, let's combine this with dropping pre-6.5 compatibility and removal of old migration scripts.
The revisions in T3768/T1950 provide a listing of components in /usr/share/vyos/component-versions.json for easy reference; this file is not used during migration, so any changes to the file will have no effect. The larger issue of dropping reliance on vyatta-cfg-system for component version information will be handled in T3474 for those components that have been moved to XML/Python.
