Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult 52bb626cd7 (submit/cleanup-damageext) damage: don't block requests when version not requested yet
The original intention was negotiating versions before any further requests
can be processed, so requests that might become incompatible in future versions
still can be dispatched correctly. But practically that's never been the case:
there's just one major version, and it's unlikely that a new *major* version
(that might be incompatible with the current one, using same request codes for
different things) will come in the forseeable future.

So this extra logic isn't practically needed and just complicates dispatching.
Dropping it clears the road for further simplification of the dispatcher.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
