Default Question about 1.91 / 1.94 compatibility

I have run several tests and have seen posts by others that versions 1.91 and 1.94 seem to be completely compatible as far as savegame files and host turn processing. From what I can tell the only differences are in the music and intro screen, which only applies on the users pc, and a couple range check errors which would only occur during turn processing.

It seems to me that I could update the PBW server and change version 1.91 to 1.94 and everybody would be fine whether they are running version 1.91 or 1.94 on their own PC's. I have tested this with stock and with a couple mods as well, although to be sure I haven't checked every mod.

Can anyone point to anything concrete they have seen in their tests that would contradict this? I mean other than a general unease about using different different versions or the fact that we've never been able to do this before with any patches. It would save myself and the admin team a tremendous amount of work if we could simply update the version on PBW once and not have to worry about running paraellel sets with all the various mods and handling dozens of game version change requests.

If anybody can falsify this hypothesis it would be appreciated.
