@markap14 Ok, that's fair. I think the general issue has to be addressed,
but the easy route is obviously blocked. So what I'm going to do to try to head
this is off is:
1. Rip out the changes to the 5x client and keep the 6x version.
2. Add some metadata to the 5x client service to help provide some visual
cues in the UI.
3. See if there is a way to get the protocol compatibility range from the
ES client API. I've seen debug info that suggests it looks for that and
enforces it, so I'm hoping there's a client API which will let us sniff that
and throw an error saying you need to change client services to keep w/ ES
protocol compatibility.
