What happened? / What do you need?:

We need a proper mechanism for soft forks. One of the possible ways is:

  1. let's say we're changing a protocol version, we should support both old and new versions until >66% users use the new protocol
  2. we should add a new information to peerInfo, eg protocol version.
  3. deploy a soft fork version
  4. gather statistics overall Network and check when the condition ">66% of user use the new protocol happen"
  5. when it is we can remove the old protocol from newer clients
