Yes, as long as you stay with the same major version. So no 0.27
frontend on a 0.28 backend. I never synchronize updating my backend
and my several frontends, so they rarely are all on exactly the same
sub-version.
That said, it would be difficult, although probably not impossible to
run a different frontend sub-version on the machine running the
backend.
