Yes, anyone using 'make plague' or 'plague-client' will need to grab the current 
Extras packages (0.3 or higher).  Between 0.2 and 0.3 the API has changed 
slightly.  I believe that people will still be able to queue packages but will 
get an error back instead of the job ID.  Other commands will not work as well.  
In any case, people will know that it's not working :)

To protect against this in the future, perhaps some sort of API versioning 
could be implemented, or at least have the client check the server's version and 
refuse to talk to the server unless the .x matches.  Or something.
