I see you did this, and bumped the protocol version to 70.
Is "the new protocol" sufficiently settled now that I should be recommending
it to ioquake3-derived projects like OpenArena? It'd be ideal if it didn't
change further for a while - perhaps a few months at a time - so demos and
stuff don't break compatibility too often.
(If there isn't a reason not to, I'll probably suggest that they use protocol
number 8500 + n to represent "OpenArena 0.8.5 with ioQuake3 protocol n",
or something similar, so OA would initially implement com_protocol 8570 and
com_legacyprotocol 71. Unfortunately, OA can't discriminate by sv_heartbeat
until they next break content compatibility, since their engines have always
used the same string "QuakeArena-1" that Quake III Arena uses...)
