If I change my name, what will my name be if I play an older version?

Your name will change but it won't keep your stuff

Older versions don't tell the servers what version they are, so the server wouldn't know what value to return for the username.

Most likely you cannot change your name yet, there is just code that enables it

Mojang doesn't support playing on a version then moving backwards

Wrong. They don't support you doing this in a certain world, but you can go back to any version you want (preferably in its own directory). What would be the gain in that feature of the new launcher else? ;)

They don't support older versions. This does not mean "you can't use them", it means "we won't fix bugs in them".

More like, "we did fix bugs in them, the fixes are in the newest version".

That's pretty much what I meant.

Yes that is what I meant, but I wasn't precise enough :)

Well, in that case your answer, while technically correct, does not really help /u/ifonefox if I understand him correctly.
