Ok, I have not kept track of the exact changes in the protocol, but then
I guess the only problem would be that the handshake procedure needs
to be changed a bit and to decide whether that is ok before release?

Once again, IMHO, if that is the only problem I think it SHOULD be
fixed since the backwards compatibilty is indeed a good thing for us
that have numerous box clients out there.
