Not quite.
The 6.6-without-SSL still knows about the NEGOTIATE_SSL_CODE packet that is
sent, and can respond "No, I can't do SSL". The pre-6.6 does not know about
the existance of this packet, and will thus respond with "Unsupported
Frontend Protocol" (since it's a normal StartupPacket with the version
number set to something very large (like the cancel request was
implemented)).
