I can't speak for the rest, but the civil war patch is entirely server side 
(and finished) (OK, there is some additional stuff under help).  It does not 
in anyway effect the backward compatibility of clients.

I personally think it is imperative the civil war patch gets into use ASAP, as 
resolving unit stacks with different owners is difficult.  I'd like to claim 
it is 100% bug free, and while I haven't seen a bug for ages - statements like 
that kid no one....  :) :) :)  Certainly any major addition should get lots of 
playtesting.

Actually, I wonder if backwards compatibility is too constraining an ideal.  I 
certainly find it a pain, and I'd just as soon abandon it.
