No, it doesn't.  Unless I screwed up, the ZEO protocol is the same. My  
intention is to support ZEO Clients all the way back to 3.2.  The  
server still supports the version methods in the ZEO protocol.

3.9 ZEO servers will not support versions, but this is no different  
than using the earlier servers with storages that don't support  
versions.
