-A notable error message is "unrecognized op", which is returned if the server doesn't recognize a command.
+A notable error message is "unrecognized op", which is returned if the server doesn't recognize a command. The client must be prepared to receive this even in reply to commands documented here, because older core client versions may not support all of them. In fact, it's more reliable to just send a command and fallback to an alternative if "unrecognized op" is returned, than to look at the version number to know what is supported.
