True. But some clients seem to have set the code readonly so that the
update process fails. The railway style was changed from 2009-05-27 to
2009-06-01 and the client version was upgraded at least three times
since then. But I know of at least two clients which are still rendering
tiles with the older railway style. One client is even still running
'Trondheim' which the server rejects.

Maybe the client should check itself weather it is in a healthy state
(updatable and up to date) and stop otherwise.

Since the railway style change is a rather major change I would support
this as a temporary solution.
