1.41 lets you scan the client, but it doesn't implicitly block cheats in itself. if people run 1.11 or 1.40, they can do whatever they please since we can't query their client. the alternative is to kick everyone that doesn't run 1.41, but that has a lot of drawbacks too. the best middle ground is probably requiring 1.41 for pickups or anything where you actually care about whether or not people are cheating, and then for pubs just letting people play however they like.
the reason the server runs 1.11 is because people complained that 1.30 was laggy, and 1.41 doesn't need the server to run 1.30. you can just run remotes to the client and look at the results.
