    Situation
    WooCommerce uses the Compatibility Checker to let the user know if some plugins are not compatible with the “latest” version of WC.
    It also states what earlier versions of WC that those plugins are known to be compatible with.

    Suggested Feature
    In the event that the user has plugins that are compliant with lower version update (which is greater than the presently installed version), it would be handy to have a button to choose to upgrade to a slightly earlier (sub)version of WC.

    Description of Problem Situation
    This may sound slightly odd, but the reason is this;
    WooCommerce has only recently changed to this requirement for upgrade (which is a good idea), but many plugins are yet to fully adapt to the new requirements. This means that if a user does not want to upgrade WooCommerce, because they want to retain some plugins, then they may end up being 2 or 3 subversions of WooCommerce behind (at least till all plugin authors get to staying up to date).
    Then the plugins get updated to be compliant with next version of WC from what they were compliant with, but that is no longer the latest version.
    So then the user must wait again till the plugins catch up, because it is difficult to upgrade to a slightly earlier version of WooCommerce.
