Oh, if we do that, do we disallow connecting to older servers?

Not at all, since the logic would be like this:

if we have new copy functions
  and we have protocol version function
    and protocol version >= 3
      then use new copy functions
else
  use old copy functions

That would be even simpler if someone would answer my question about the new copy functions working on a pre v3 server. (I'm setting up to test that atm)
