It doesn’t work between any two majors (1.2 and 2.0, 2.0 and 2.1, 2.1 and 3.0).
The reason is that hint delivery doesn’t proceed between two nodes unless they
have the same schema version,
and in every recent major release we made changes that made schema calculation
differ even without any DDL
statements going on.
There might be an argument for relaxing that restriction, and/or for making
schema versioning more stable, but we are where we are right now.
