Any plan to let new binary work with old binary?

Maybe boost the version field for multifd packet (along with a
multifd_version=2 parameter and only set on new machine types)?

PS: We should really have some handshake mechanism between src/dst, I dreamt it
for a long time..  So that we only need to specify the capability/parameters on
src someday and we'll never see incompatible migration failing randomly because
the handshake should guarantee no stupid mistake..  Sad.

Could anyone help to explain why we don't care?  I still see bugfixes coming..

Thanks,
