As NC16 is released on 2019-04-11, we release ~ at the same time.
So I would like to set
OUTDATED_SERVER_VERSION = 14
MINIMUM_SUPPORTED_SERVER_VERSION = OUTDATED_SERVER_VERSION - 2 = 12

--> so we show a warning if client connects to <=14
--> we assume that every server runs at least NC12, so we can remove

@tobiasKaminsky Sounds good to me 👍
