Yes, we do. Version policy (i.e. no-new-versions-in-updates policy) has
an exception for "Software that is version-bound to an online service
(games, virus scanners?) and will only work with the latest version."
This doesn't 100% fit xonotic, though, as online play doesn't *require*
a specific version. However, as it does impede the online playing
experience and (AFAIU) online-play is a significant part of xonotic, I'd
side on the 'update' verdict here.
What do other people think regarding this aspect?
