So, as far a I understand for resolving this bug the following is OK :
Block downgrading if there are Hosts or Networks (other than the default management network) or SD in the DC when downgrading.
yes
I don't think it is enough. There is a need to verify the management network wasn't modified to use unsupported features in the new data-center.
On the same matter, we can allow downgrading if all of the networks in the data center are using only features that are supported on the target DC version and not to restrict it only to the management network.
Since Moti is in PTO, talked with Mike K to get advanced with that , we came to the following conclusion:
when DC is downgraded : Block downgrading if there are Hosts or Networks (other than the default management network) or SD in the DC. In case that only default management network exists we should check that all network features are still supported (This can be done by adding a method to the NetworkValidator that will check for support of all relevant features)
when Cluster is downgraded : Same as above , but we don't need to check for features validation since we can not downgrade below the DC version and therefor the cluster network is supposed to be valid already
Mike, please let me know If I miss something from our discussion (and thanks for your kind help :-) )
+1 from me and Mike for the above.
Eli - please note there is no need to block the DC downgrade if there are hosts in the DC. Thanks, Livnat

The second approach you suggested is equivalent to creating networks in cluster level vs. DC level, which is used today.
We should consider that for 4.0 and think on the pros and cons of doing so.
In general for this specific discussion I think a simple block on DC downgrade should be enough.
