Do you mean that existing "git push", "git fetch" and "git archive" sends version=2 even when they are not capable of speaking protocol v2? I thought that "git archive [--remote]" was left outside of the protocol update (that was the reason why the earlier attempt took a hacky route of "shallow clone followed by local archive"), so there is no "git archive" in the wild that can even say "version=$n" (which requires you to be at least version=1)?
