Yeah. Would need to define a set of features first. A version would simply
stand for a distinct set of supported features... I agree that'd be less
flexible.

If you add a negotiation phase, I'd recommend doing it in terms of a
list<SupportedFeature> rather than a version number. That makes it much
easier to backport new features across branches without being forced to
backport all other features that might have been introduced between the two.
