But if we successfully negotiate a 0-9 connection on a broker which

to inform the broker up front.
Wasn't the 99 major number reserved for WIP type work? Can we claim the
99-1 id for the WIP sections of 0-9?
The situation with C++ is not too bad. We won't support 0-8 in the first
cut but we haven't ditched any of the basic stuff or the old framing,
it's just disconnected. I think it might be fairly straightforward to
reconnect it conditionally.
So I'd say the C++ position is: we are first aiming to get 0-9 working
without 0-8. We wont slow ourselves down worrying about 0-8 but we wont
needlessly throw 0-8 stuff away either.Once 0-9 works we can look at
re-enabling 0-8 conditionally, and it might not be as hard as I
originally thought.
We might get a multi-version broker out of this yet- but it's not top
priority.
I don't see a need to provide interop between 0.8 and 0-9. My question
was whether we aim to be 0-9 'compliant' and whether that would be
possible if we only implemented the WIP parts. When you say 'we are
first aiming to get 0-9 working' do you mean the WIP part only?
