<br>
An "MCVersion" is a precisely defined entity (a package snapshot with associated meta data). This selector thus is misleading. MC has no concept yet of a series of definitions that describe multiple variants of the same class.<br>

<br>
An MCPatchBrowser displays an MCPatch, which is a set of MCPatchOperations that can be applied to an MCSnapshot to make another MCSnapshot.<br>
<br>
If you want to display the patches from multiple versions you would need something new, e.g. an MCPatchSeries which would have multiple patches. Otherwise we're watering down the very precise model of Monticello, making it much harder to understand and maintain.<br>
