If we were to adopt another prefix -- which, as I've said, we should
not do -- it would be because we changed the protocol and wanted to
signal that we'd done so. If the protocol changes to a new version,
just because the pieces of it that you happen to be using aren't
affected, doesn't mean your protocol doesn't change too.
