Additionally, I can see some major benefits to NOT automatically re installing a patch after a f/w upgrade in case of compatibility issues.
Yep, this is planned. I have to see if some other dev is interested in using the Installer

The Installer can do it already. If you rename your mod package from KoboRoot.tgz to MODNAME_VERSION.tar.gz (you can use also .tar.xz), put it inside a /package dir and zip that folder to a KoboRoot.tgz as usual, the package will be installed only if a newer version of MODNAME is not installed. Actually is what I've done with the NightMode installer test.
Of course this works only if you've installed also the newer version this way.
