isn't the GAC to handle that? multiple versions of the same assembly? and with a new assembly version attribute for .NET 4, i thought it was very much possible

It can store multiple versions of the assembly within the same CLR..so it makes sense. .NET 2.0 can load a 4.0 assembly if the GAC is not seperated
