The NIM master can serve multiple versions of AIX - each with its own SPOT
and lppsource - but it must be at an equal or higher level to all of them.
(That includes maintenance level, not just base OS.) So if your master was
at 5.2 it'd be OK, but not at 4.3.3.
I've managed OK with (slightly) different maintenance levels in the past but
never tried it with a back-level OS and I don't want to!
