Updating Knossos mods to more recent MediaVP versions

That's because Knossos pulls the list what MVP version to install with which mod from a manifest file it downloads each time on boot up (or a after a period of time now).
Pnakotus:
Yeah the idea here is to find out which ones seem to work fine without a specific version. So far, I've only run into a few technical problems or areas that could be improved. Most of them work fine on 4.6.6 and I assume that they'd continue to work on current mvps into the future.
120gb of redundant mvps may not be required, which is nice.
Depending on how long the enthusiasm holds out, I'll talk to Goob about fsport mods and how best to handle the current fsport version + the highest mvps that fsport uses in combination. Fsport-including mods might have more problems, but we'll see.
Cleaning Crew works fine with 4.6.6.
Crossing the Styx needed to have the references to the particular mvp packages removed to work, but it's fine afterward.
As a bonus these old mods get the new Argo now.

--- End quote ---
yes, sorry, I certainly don't want to divert this thread from that.
To save you all from the effort of combing through every mod on knossos, I took a stab at generating what should be a comprehensive list of every mod whose current version requires a non-current MVPs. Anything with a >= requirement, or a ~4.6.whatever requirement, has been omitted, but I might go back and see how many that excludes as an old version with permissive versioning could still need some care.
I should be able to do this with old engine versions too if anyone wants to tackle that can of worms.

Sorry for the rough formatting, but if you paste that in a spreadsheet program it'll probably be able to make it a little prettier. Sorted by version required, as that seems like it's the ones that will need the most work.
If anything on this list seems out of whack let me know and I'll take another swing at it.
CT27:
Not too long ago I was able to play CE: Aftermath on FSO 22.2 with MVPs 4.6.6. Which is odd because up until just recently for me it did require MVPs 3.7.2 (aka 2014 MVPs) for it to be playable.

I have put the csv above into Google Sheets for convenience.
