Quick answer: NO, unless you're compiling your own to ensure the EXACT same
version.
Your concern about protocols is only the beginning. The real issue is
database schema updates, which are not done on hard version numbers.
You WILL eventually run into problems, and it WILL annoy everyone on the
list when you bring up that you're running two different patchlevels.
