I think it is normal if mysqldump warn user if he detects server version
different from mysqldump one. Anyone can download any needed version of
MySQL from our web and I do not see big problem with this. Even when we
try to be as much backward compatible as possible, this is sometime not
right way to. Making a lot of ¨if¨ statements in mysqldump code is not
nice way.
Just my opinion :)
