Issue #5554 has been reported by James Turnbull.

----------------------------------------
Feature #5554: Puppet agent/master compatibility should be mandated
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5554

Author: James Turnbull
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: plumbing
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: client backwards-compability master agent version
Branch: 


Currently if a newer client tries to talk to an older master, for example a 
0.25.x or 2.6.x client tries to talk to a 0.24.x master then there is little or 
no error message generated to indicate that this isn't a supported combination.

So the client should detect the server version, report an appropriate error and 
fail.

Similar structures for deprecating older clients should also be used.  For 
example, perhaps in 2.7.x we might not support clients earlier than 0.24.8 and 
fail on connection from them?
