The problem: the I-D uses PROTVER rather than NETVER, however 2.8.0
only supports NETVER.

The argument in favour of PROTVER is that the command is not asking
for the version of the _network_.  It is asking for the version of
the _protocol_.

The argument in favour of NETVER is that it is currrently
implemented in 2.8.0.

Should the I-D revert to NETVER?   I will follow whatever the list decides.

can NETVER be declared as obsolete alternative to PROTVER?

If PROTVER was also implemented, then yes, but if PROTVER is not
implemented, then there would be a divergence between the I-D and NUT
2.8.0, which I want to avoid.

2.8.0 doesn't exist yet.  I suspect Jim would be amenable to making a
change to PROTVER as primary with NETVAR as a deprecated alias, and then
we can have the spec say what it ought to.  It seems like a small code
change and rolling another rc.

Jim, Is this change to PROTVER possible for 2.8.0?, or should I keep NETVER?
