So summarizing the salient points here: - client authors have worked around this mostly, but this would avoid some duplication of effort for new features - this issues was tagged last year as being pertinent to 4.0 in several threads about what was in scope - there is some development efforts required to review/merge/update these patches and we are trying to release - the change is unintrusive - this is a change to the protocol
Not having this doesnt effect me for $dayJob, but I want to reiterate that it's a silly thing to leave to clients. Given we've previously scoped it to 4.0, im still +1 on adding it. It's ok to have differing opinions. I'd like to see us disagree and commit to a course of action either way as opposed to just letting it sit more because we can't sort it out.
