IIRC the former still works, but gives a warning. Or has that changed in
0.99?

I certainly agree that it's a somewhat incompatible change. However,
it's certainly much less severe than a flag day due to netsync
incompatibilities. Maybe in the order of a required db migrate?

IIUC that's rather because of the infrastructural change on monotone.ca
where usher and separate databases are used now, rather than an
incompatibility between the monotone versions, is it?
