What's the motivation here?
This is at best a way to break all clients if an incompatible
change in the server is made.
Would not it be better to send a bitmap, or a list of supported
versions, so it's possible to write servers compatible
with multiple clients?

associated with?


I don't understand how compatibility works exactly,
a bit more explanation in code comments would be nice.
In particular new client won't work with old server,
will it?
