Phase V nodes can talk just fine with Phase IV. The major "headache" is that NCP is gone, and you have a totally new way of managing things, and a new system for node names. While it might be better, it's totally unrelated to how nodenames are managed in Phase IV, so that can be a headache. I've seen one or two weird things in Phase V backward compatibility in the past, but for the most part, it works just fine.
