Although ATM, the old protocols don't actually really work, so there's not much point keeping them around.

Why don't cut but keeping 1.4.7, 1.5.2 and 1.6? I suppose there are not many issues with them.

Quick question: Why do you use the old versions? Is it just for the mod support?

I sometimes use it for mods.

I have old worlds in the old versions that I don't want to migrate (due to generator changes)

Mojang will release Minecraft 1.7.5 tomorrow: https://mojang.com/2014/02/minecraft-1-7...countries/
They also already know that there will be a 1.7.6 eventualy.

I asked Dinnerbone if the protocol will change and he responded ;D https://twitter.com/Dinnerbone/status/43...8553121792

I'm addressing you as Mr. Breuker henceforth.

Todays snapshot contains this change: "Servers can now customise network compression in server.properties" I'm curious if this is chunk compression or all the packets.

I suppose network compression means in the chunk packets, nothing else makes sense - you'd have a lot of lag if you compressed other data, and the other data is not that much compressible anyway.
