Apologies; this is a bit vague, just a general thing I want us to look into.

Task is to evaluate how we choose whether transformation needs to occur for a given management API version from a slave, with a view toward checking that intelligent choices are made in the absence of proper transformation definitions.

The main kind of thing I'm thinking about is the DC is on 2.0.0 and has a transformer to 1.1.0 registered, and then a slave registers that is using 1.1.1. The subsystem author likely forgot to create the transformation to 1.1.1. Odds are good though that transforming to 1.1.0 is a better choice than not transforming and treating the slave as if it were on 2.0.0.
