Yes.

You can do these types of programmatic edits using the tool box api, we
just need to find the common patterns so a helper method can be built
... there are quite a few possibilities, so I'm hoping that tools will
appear with checkboxes for the possible options to make things a bit
easier...

It means that version 1.0 is loaded on all platforms except Phar2.4 ...
(Pharo2.4 is not familiar to me and #'pharo2.4' has not been defined as
a platform attribute yet) ...
If you print the following:
ConfigurationOfXXX project attributes
You will get a back an ordered list of attrbitues like the following:
#common
#squeakCommon
#pharo
#'pharo1.x'
#'pharo1.1.x'
The for:version: statements are processed in order and the last
specification wins.

This isn't necessary the #common spec covers all cases. If you want to
exclude a singe version, you can use the special symbolic version
#'notDefined':
stable: spec
<symbolicVersion: #'stable'>
spec for: #'common' version: '1.0'.
spec for: #'squeak.something' version: #'notDefined'.
spec for: #'pharo2.4' version: '1.4'
which means that 1.0 will be used for all platforms except
#'squeak.something' and #'pharo2.4'. #'squeak.something' will get a
#MetacelloSymbolicVersionNotDefinedError and #'pharo2.4' will get versin
1.4.
