1. So you are saying the Linux client is broken? How do you test?
2. If a client is broken and never sends it. Do you claim that it should
   stay in denial forever. Or we can let him off the hook once the
   grace ends?

I can't see the logic in 2. It's that lawyer logic again. I don't mind
and it will harm no one if I do it, but I don't because I'm punishing you
for being a bad boy.

Sigh, what do you suggest we do? a client fix will only work for 3.1 Kernel
say we even send it to stable. Are you willing to sacrifice all the old clients
that do not update?

When was this breakage introduced I did not have it before yesterday?

Please decide?
