I didn't propose not to do other changes. I merely was saying that if
making the server fully RFC3253 compliant (on this matter) means that
all relevant clients need to be upgraded first, then this should be done
ASAP

Not really. But it seems to be a workaround for a problem caused by
non-compliance, thus the *long-term* fix should be to get rid of the
compliance issue, instead of wiring-in a workaround forever, right?
