- I'm not sure I understand how'll it work with older clients (need feature negotiation, but from guest driver to server and from server to client?). The driver would have to follow whatever the client that is connected to it can work with? I guess we need to solve the general problem of how a new feature in the driver that affects the client should be handled, this is a private case of it.
