Client backwards compatibility

Just looking for feedback on whether anyone has 10.x clients with 9.x relays. We need to deploy the latest agent to support the latest Windows OS’s. I have tested the agent and everything appears to be working as expected.
Always cautious when the upgrade fixlet states the relays should be upgraded first.
This is only a short term issue as we plan the BigFix v10 upgrade in a few months.
Feedback ?

Have had that in the past and worked fine, yes. There was a warning fixlet that becomes relevant if memory serves me right but otherwise things worked ok in my experience.

I did run a 10.0.1 client when the core infra was still on 9.5.8 and did not notice any adverse effects but that was an isolated test. Of course its recommended to keep to at least the same major version where possible.
