I'm not talking about Teiid runtime supporting multiple EAP.

I'm talking Teiid Designer supporting multiple versions of Teiid 
runtime.

we use the jboss product layering metadata.

Rob can outline the details.

Note, in case you don't actually use that it would be interesting to 
know why.
i.e. is it A) we didn't know about it - lets use it! or B) Teiid is not 
considered a layered product and can be installed/patched in a different 
way than SOA-P, FSW,etc. thus it is not registered as a layered product.
