What it can't handle is that you can load media types LTO4 RW in the
LTO5 drives and also LTO3 RO, which would be extremely handy.

You can get this just defining two device that references the same drive: one that will work with LTO4 tapes and the other will work with the LTO5 tapes. I have this configured and it is working fine. The same tape library reads/writes LTO-3 and LTO-5 HP tapes.

Is this could be best configured? Yes, I think. If we could set "Media type = LTO-3. LTO-4". But this is still not implemented and I´m not sure about the difficulties this should represent. Because in database we have a volume (tape) associated with a media type. Maybe if we could have another "media type" directive for pools. So we could say: this device can read/write LTO-4 and LTO-5 types, but the volumes in this pool are from media type = LTO-5.
