Need verification and clarification on phone-gap-version

On StackOverflow someone trying to build with Phonegap Build, I presume because they are using that tag.

They state:
Cordova android 4.x backbutton event not fired when resources is not local (using http)
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31888266/cordova-android-4-x-backbutton-event-not-fired-when-resources-is-not-local-usin

I read in the documentation for Phonegap Build
Currently supported versions are 3.0.0, 3.0.0, 3.1.0, 3.2.0, 3.3.0, 3.4.0, 3.5.0, 3.6.3 (default), and 3.7.0

Question for Verification: Besides these version, only cli-5.1.1 is available. Is this correct?

Question for Clarification: When will Cordova 4.x be available, if at all, for Phonegap Build? Please add any clarification information you have, or point me toward how it relates to Phonegap policy.

TIA

The old 3.x.x versions were referring to platform versions specifically.

A few months ago, the Cordova builds for each platform were no longer released at the same time any more. This caused issues with release times as they were no longer in sync (e.g. there still hasn't been an iOS/Windows 4.0.0 release yet). It now makes more sense to change version numbering to use the CLI version as a base to determine which versions will be used when building platform specific releases, hence cli-5.1.1
