I don't care at all if J. Random Developer's homegrown code only works
with the PG version he's using. The concern I have is that unwanted
server version dependencies will sneak into widely used code, like
psql, or libpq, or jdbc. Or another way of putting it: Robert's proposal
is a protocol version break, just like most stuff at this level. Trying
to pretend it isn't doesn't make it not one.
That makes sense, thanks for clarifying.
