Background
This has been a long time coming. We often release code that is incompatible with previous versions of Pigeon. Even when done in a backwards-compatible way, backwards compatibility isn't meant to extend backwards forever. We need a way of specifying the minimum version of Pigeon that the current version of Paloma works with. It's currently expected that any newer versions of Pigeon will also work with the current version of Paloma
The minimum required version of Pigeon is specified in the app.go file and should be mentioned in any proposed paloma update that goes through governance. Users can upgrade to the latest version of Pigeon ahead of the Paloma upgrade.
Part of this PR includes cleaning up extra places where we were calling the keepalive functionality. Keepalive should only happen in its own workflow, not as a tag-along to other workflows.
I also removed the ability to send a keepalive message with the CLI. I can come up with no reason why we would want to have this ability.
