All that is necessary for protocol interoperability is for
implementations to recognize the complete syntax.

We've training our users not to expect insecure features
in our software.  We are slowly eliminating these features
WITH the support of our user community.  Progressing a
Standard Track ACM which would require us to add back in
features, or preclude us from eliminating them, is a Bad
Thing.
