shouldn't this message say that it supports "v14" or "latest"?

Only V14 can be provided from this legacy route, so whether they ask for V14 or "latest that node has" that's what they will get back, so I htink it's all good?

Looks good to me, I wonder if it's worth checking that the Latest version from the node is 14 / or if the API to fetch the version returns MethodNotIMplemented?

Ideally, in the future we'd have the V15 nodes. The inner_legacy method could still fetch V14 when the V15 code path fails (with maybe some network error). I think that's fine since it should be considered a fallback :D

My reasoning was that if we are trying this legacy path, then we have already failed to call the "new" methods, and so the node only supports V14 (please do correct me if I'm wrong though :))

Edit: Ah yeah, like you said I guess it's a bit more subtle than that because we don't look at what exactly failed to get us to the fetch_legacy code path, and yeah we should pay more attention to the specific error! I geuss I'm not too bothered either because it's just a fallback thing :)
