This breaks any client that assumes message-token has its (impossible)
specified semantics, which if I remember correctly includes Maemo 5's
rtcom-eventlogger; the ability to backport CMs onto Maemo has been rather
popular, so this seems a bad idea. I'd be in favour of getting rid of
message-token from the list entirely, though, replacing it with something like
this at the end of the list of keys:

    The key "message-token" is reserved and should not be used.
