Ok, thanks Frank - so we need to retain connection sharing server-side for
downrev clients. But new clients would no longer use it. We need downrev
clients exercising QA for uprev pmcd. And similarly, QA for uprev clients
talking to downrev pmcd. None of this QA exists .. so it would seem this
patch isn't ready for merging yet ..? Any further comments or thoughts
anyone?
