Fair enough (although the intent is to get to that state at some point). > Is there an even stronger way for us to grease this?

Although maybe not 7FFF, but 270F so that PQfullProtocolVersion returns 39999. And I think it'd be good to also add a protocol option, like _pq_.test_protocol_breakage and fail the connection attempt client side if that does not get returned back as unsupported. I'll try to update this patch to do that in the coming days.
