What happens when you modify version-1 of your plugin and remove a port
(making Version2), then later re-add a new (unrelated) port with different
semantics? (Version 3)... Then load a project created with version 1.

 Does the host in THIS situation set the new port to it's default value, I
doubt it. More likely it 'restores' it to some invalid setting.

Do you want a fragile, crash-prone, plugin ecosystem?, or a robust one?

I Agree with Paul on this one.
