It's a bit odd that we're about to push a backward-incompatible
change into Fedora, just in case non-Fedora servers are around.
Well the reason for
the incompatibility is the simple fact that
the Linux server is a bit behind the rest of the servers out there
when it comes to this particular type of v4 support...
Note, I've been pushing kernel patches to for over a year now (which are
in currently in the F-12) which would bring the server up to speed in
this area... but they gained any priority with the maintainer...
until recently...
