Perhaps we might want to add more SRV, or TXT, DNS records to state the
minimum required versions, and/or reasons for deprecating older versions.

Then we could have pkg 1.2 or newer check if it deems itself "new
enough" for binary stuff, so that we have a quick path for a
deprecation, just in case something goes seriously wrong.
