I think we need to preserve existing behavior, but this patch does not
do that.
Sorry, I can't apply this.
If someone was depending upon the old preferencing in some way, we will
break communications for them, and that really isn't acceptable.
It's really ill advised for the RFC folks to create situations like
this, where implementations have to choose between following the
updated RFC to the letter and keeping existing setups working.
