If you've got Lua embedded in an app, that's Lua as far as your app
is concerned. Your user does not need to install any 'official' Lua
himself.
The existence or nonexistence of a later Lua than the one you have
embedded is absolutely immaterial. Upgrading your app to a later
version does not mean you have to upgrade the version of Lua you're
using.
