Sure, but if the user doesn't upgrade the client, they're missing out
on a lot the improvements, anyhow.

Yes, intentions are fine.

But you can't prove that 1.18.1 and 1.18.6 are compatible, whereas I
*can* prove that 1.18.1 and 1.18.1 are compatible, because I've run
tests.  And I don't think it's worth the effort to test 1.18.6 with
all previous patchlevels of the client before we release it.

I think that certainty of compatibility is worth more than the
patchlevel improvements, because it is trivial to upgrade the client.
 That way you get both the patchlevel improvements and the certainty
of compatibility.

(And in environments where the juju client version is locked down, I
expect that they would want to lock down the agent version as well.)

Do we really have to?  Isn't Mark Ramm's recommendation that we do it
my way enough?
