I also agree that this is a good idea, but we should force the upgrade. We can't be sure if it makes things any better if there are still a great deal of nodes still using older versions without probabilistic caching. We should find some way to make sure the protocol used in 0.3.9.2 (or maybe 0.3.10, since chaning how things are cached is a pretty fundemental change) is not backwards compatible with other nodes in the 0.3 series.
It would also help to have a Debian package out in a timely fasion (**hint, hint, nudge, nudge**).
