+1

I've always thought the same with source branches. Maybe set a policy
to support the current server version plus some number of previous
versions? Older than that is on a best effort basis?

I think moving away from the server version numbering could be
advantageous, particularly as I had made the mistake in the past, that
you need to match server and client version. Although changing it now
could confuse users as it has historically tracked the server version.
