Something of a compainion to matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#4014, but also covering the issues discussed at matrix-org/matrix-js-sdk#3915 (comment).

In short: we should not reject servers which only implement recent versions of the spec. Doing so holds back the Matrix ecosystem by requiring all new servers to implement features that nobody actually uses any more.
