Ah, that's true. This method is inappropriate.

OK, let me check that. Even if the old server will receive "V2", the
server will send port numbers instead of "V2" due to the old protocol.
In that time, the new client will disconnect from the old server and
the restarts with the old protocol. Is it OK?
