Well, that sounds to me as there won't ever be any additions at all. I mean, 4 (or 2) bytes are really not that much for something that I for myself consider useful. I see what you mean but even if the slave structure has to be enlarged, that does NOT mean that all existing slaves won't work anymore! The headersize can be checked within WHDLOAD, old header detected -> new features disabled/not used. Not much of a problem imho. But as said, I can live w/o that feature as it somehow looks like there is this "oh new feature? nah, better don't touch anything that runs!" mentality here. Years ago we had cars without airbags and they worked well but then someone invented airbags and even though you (hopefully) won't ever use/see them in action there are certain situations where they can be very helpful!
