Huh. That seems like a change explicitly *designed* to break backward
compatibility? Should we accept the old value from older APs or so?
Otherwise we can't connect in some scenarios, I think?

Or at least should we say here in the commit message or so why backward
compatibility was broken, and that it was for other clients that didn't
behave well or something but our code was already fine?

Or am I completely confused about it?
