Yes, with one recent exception.  If you use the current clients you
will be backward-compatible for all non-end-of-life releases, and many
before that will still work too, but may not be officially supported.

The exception is novaclient 8.0, released last week, that removed all
support for Nova network, so older clouds deployed with nova-net will
not work for those functions removed (security groups, fixed/floating
IPs, etc).  novaclient 7.1.0 will still work fine.

In general you will want to use the current clients whenever possible.
We work very hard to remain backward compatible so users are not
required to match clients to the cloud release.
