Question about version compatibility of go-client with k8s api server

Related to this closed issue #1013

Hi ! I've a question about the compatibility matrix between go-client and k8s apiserver.

• The client-go documentation states We will backport bugfixes--but not new features--into older versions of client-go. . How far back are the bug fixes back ported. I wanted to understand the processes so that i can keep the client-go version updated when we change apiserver versions.
• The compatibility matrix shows a matrix for apiserver and client-go versions 1.15 to 1.20. Does that mean its safe to assume client-go can work with apiserver drift as much as 5 versions? I understand not all features would be available across versions, but want to understand from a perspective of bug fixes.

Could the document https://github.com/kubernetes/client-go#compatibility-client-go---kubernetes-clusters be updated?

Thanks in advance
