I hope the integration that results is one that's flexible with regard to versions; it would be cool if you could dial up a version of Empresa and Merchant and then it tells you if that's a bad idea, good idea or just won't work at all. For example, give me Merchant 5 with Empresa 5.04; no, you don't want to do that, pick 5.03. :)

That would be very nice indeed, but I have a feeling that as a new install they will simply have a checkbox for preinstalling some version of Empresa (let's assume 5.04) and call it a day. In Ensim control panels they've had Empresa 3.x and then 4.x preinstalled with one checkbox, and when v4.1 and then Pro X came out, they also added Empresa 5.x - and now you have two checkboxes for selecting whith Empresa you want installed. Granted, by default that's 4.x or 5.x, but you could customize that to be 5.03 or 5.04 if you wanted to. :-) In Plesk... unless MIVA really pushes them into it, I don't think they will be offering Empresa 4.x or older, as MIVA really is pushing and selling v5 and FastTrack these days, both of which run on v5.x
