I have done a poor job of summarizing the previous votes. Simon was
arguing FOR back-patching, and I was arguing AGAINST it.
But if you and Tatsuo-san are both in favor of it, then perhaps we
should do it. However, that might require people to write application
code which has to be aware of which minor version it's talking to,
which is usually something we try hard to avoid.
Any opinion on what to do about the one that's returning ERRCODE_ADMIN_SHUTDOWN?
