It looks like the latest patches generally avoid touching behavior for
devices without this feature-set. And I've given it a bit of a whirl
myself, although I have a pretty blind eye to AP-mode as my systems tend
to be clients.
Yes, testing is always a concern for invasive changes, but I think we're
in OK shape at least w.r.t. regressing existing setups. Or, I won't
provide an Acked-by until I'm happy.
