Ah ha! The subject line reveals the truth.  Thank you.  I typically restate
my subject in the first sentence of my emails, and so I applied my behavior
to his email.  Silly me.

Yes, there is a discrepency there, one says 8.6(1) is the lowest for direct
and then other says 6.1(4) is the lowest.  However, the Supported section
of the upper screenshot does list 6.1(4) as the lowest version number, and
so I'd have to deduce that 6.1(4) is agreeable between documents, despite
not having the full document for context.  I'm not even sure which document
he has on top, as the latest Upgrade guide is for CUCM 10.0(1) here:
