PS Just for my own information, am I correct in thinking that it is only Bazaar in the (D)VCS world that has this problem, to any real extent? I know old Mercurial clients can interact with newer servers (ie, the wire protocol hasn't changed), I'm fairly sure that older Subversion clients can talk to newer servers (at least, I've never cared what client version I'm running). I've not heard of this type of discussion around Git (but my experience is limited). But Bazaar seems very prone to this "upgrade the server and the clients need to be upgraded too" cycle.

That's not what we're talking about. This is a case of older clients
not understanding a newer repository format.
