There are no backwards incompatible changes from 1.6 to 1.9, so I
suggest we just leave it at 1.9 and don't break "Jackson" nor "Olivia"
(and have no assumptions about who will read this or not).

Apart from that I think most of the people agreed on the client
defaulting to the minimal version (which I'm assuming means 1.1). So
what people think? Should we add some warning messages when the
version is not specified in the CLI saying we are moving it back to
1.1 on the next releases? And then default it to 1.1 later?
