We should start a list of the things that need fixing/changing.
Maybe a file in devel/ ?
There is one quirk that comes up occasionally. The RefID only has room for
an IPv4 address. IPv6 addresses need hashing. That's not a serious problem
and you may want to hide it anyway for security reasons.
I think all the security proposals will fit into extensions. But there have
been a lot of troubles with extensions in the past. I wouldn't be all that
surprised if we needed a change that required a new version.
