CLUSTER.exam-specializations are expecting a previous version of CLUSTER.exam archetype

An example which illustrate my point is this great question: Archetype specialization vs new archetypes

The answer from @siljelb is good. Still the question on management is not (only) about the problems with ADL1.4 and copying. No matter how this is technically implemented or managed you still have the semantic and governed connection which needs to be managed in the long run. We can make it technically simpler, but the information model is at the same complexity which only a few globally will be able to cope with.
