The lack of a warning previously is probably more incorrect than its presence now. That said, I'd probably try and teach psql to check for whether its remote is a PostgreSQL server and, if not, warn that basically everything but direct query sending is unlikely to work. Skipping the version processing logic altogether since you are correct it makes no sense to compare the client version to a server version of a non-PostgreSQL server. David J.
