Do you plan to increase the minor revision number of the extension for
this? I know it doesn't change the wire protocol, but it changes the
behavior of the server quite significantly and there needs to be a way
for client to detect which behavior the server will have.

We plan to use the patch in maemo, and it would be nice to align
ourselves with what will be done upstream when the patch goes in.

Thanks
Johan.
