 The Games team is looking for sponsors of a server that will be able to
solve this issue for wesnoth and other games properly.  Unfortunately
noone turned up yet that is willing to do so.  Without a dedicated
server for that task this won't be solveable, sorry.

 Though, like written, it's not something to worry now with respect to
wesnoth, and I plan to offer backports for major upstream versions that
would mean not being compatibility for old clients (but even then,
upstreams keeps the old stable release running for a while -- it
currently still has 1.6 running)

 Enjoy!
Rhonda
