from https://gitter.im/ethereum/AllCoreDevs?at=5d948294290b8c354a136e4b:

The crux of the idea is that we should replace the genesis hash in the eth protocol handshake with something else (bumping eth/63 to eth/64 (old one still functional side-by-side)), that contains a checksum of both the genesis, as well as all the forks applied on top since. This would allow nodes to cross validate if they are not only on the same chain, but also on the same forks, and disconnect otherwise. This would have solved all the current Ropsten issues if rolled out.
