It is our policy to not change vendor versions and backport patches for
100% compatiblity. Even if some strange client looks for the server
version it won't notice a difference. The only exception to that rule is
fsl which is a OSSP project driven by and and made for OpenPKG - so we
understand the scope of changes and compatiblity is under our control.
