Sorry, I'm confused. Isn't that what I said? Clients (who still use the - older - version they have at the moment) needing to upgrade to be able to interact with the public repository (server) if that repository is upgraded to a newer version? When you say "repository" and I say "server", are we not discussing the same thing (the Bazaar branches hosted at code.python.org)?
