Interesting, so it seems commit 705e67d40b didn't do all it claimed to
do... Or is it the case where that perception is different.  The
parameter was added and the code changed to modify guest to guest
communication filters (in/for 1.0.1)

By changing this that would see to allow more - I've CC'd laine to grab
his attention to this and get his feedback, especially since commit
c0788af0 was generated after the other one and he wrote that one (in/for
1.2.7).
