I thought remoting supported wire format version from some time ago? 
I.e. a 2.0 client should work with a 2.2 server? Are you sure this is 
not the case? This was a requirement from messaging a long way back. I 
remember getting Tom to add it. Remoting adds a version byte on each 
request, doesn't it?

Ron - how hard would it be to backport the changes between 2.0.0 and 
2.2.0 into 2.0.1 and keeping wire format and compile time API 
compatibility with 2.0.0?

(This would basically mean renaming 2.2.0 to 2.0.1 and ensuring 
compatibility with 2.0.0 ??)

This would be crucial for deploying messaging (and esb) unscoped in the 
4.2.x series.
