Add the ability to downgrade a multiplatform MQ Queue Manager after a major version upgrade

Making it possible to downgrade a Qmgr to an older version of MQ after an upgrade, would make it easier and quicker to backout upgrades. There would be less impact to the environment and the applications if Qmgrs could be more easily moved between versions without the need to delete and recreate the Qmgr and restore from config backup.

    We recognise that this is a valid requirement. However it doesn't fit with our prioritised delivery plans for the next couple of years.

    As a result we are declining this Idea.
