It should work -- unless Gentoo is using something really pre-historic.  There 
are a handful of #ifdef-s to handle old versions.  NetBSD 8 ships with 1.0.2k. 
 I test that.  It builds on 1.0.1, but I'd have to check to see how much 
testing I've done with that.

The only potentially interesting quirk I know about is that older versions 
don't support ALPN which the draft says is REQUIRED.  But nobody uses that 
yet, so...

No problem.  Old cookies work for another cycle.  So if the polling interval 
is faster than 3600/8 they work without any extra NTS-KE.

The hour is only a hack for debugging.  We will set it to a day before 
release.  (or sooner if the log clutter gets too annoying and/or I'm convinced 
everything is working)
