One might think that people should follow instructions and that Apple shouldn't have to worry about stopping people who ignore the directions from shooting themselves in the feet.

While this is certainly true for the particular instance of this phenomenon that started the discussion here, it doesn't invalidate the general point... if, once a new Installer version comes out, a third party releases an Installer package that depends on new features of Installer, one really would think that it would be a good thing if old versions of Installer would refuse to install said package.
