Lock protocol version numbers



Summary:

In a discussion on November 5, 2011, Christian Decker expressed opposition to using user-agent strings as a means of communication choice. In response, it was argued that user-agent strings can be valuable in cases where a popular client is found with a subtle bug and cannot otherwise be differentiated from similar-functionality clients. The use of user-agent strings has been found helpful in dealing with minor bugs when enabling new functionality or behavior on Eligius.
