You cannot move for domain level 0 to 1 automatically anyway. So this is
a moot point to some degree. In general we need to have the code that
checks for the domain level version to be able to change the level, so
we need new code in replicas to publish the supported domain level
version and code in the install patchs to check that we can actually
join a domain given its current domain level status.

These checks are absolutely a critical blocker to enable the whole
domain-level feature.

Simo.
