The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!
@jip M28 uses a semi-decentralised approach but I don't think it's what FtX is referring to - i.e. M28 will still consider building units, and will just consider within a localised area whether to upgrade a mex / build storage / get reclaim (as opposed to trying to get a T3 mex as fast as possible).
