Hi Michael,

Yes, something along those lines. Although I'd probably have the public
constructor take a `boolean` and have a private constructor for the
`Boolean` (this way, we can retire the config at some point without
affecting the API exposed by the class). Also, I would just hardcode it in
`send` instead of using an interceptor.

It would be interesting to get some thoughts on whether people think this
is OK given the constraints.

A note: message format version bumps are relatively disruptive for users
(and they impose a non-trivial maintenance cost). So, as Jun said, it would
be good to avoid bumping it many times in rapid succession. The last bump
happened in 0.10.0.0, which was released in May 2016. My personal
preference would be to wait until the May 2017 release for the next message
format bump.

We have a number of KIPs currently being discussed that require a message
format bump: KIP-82, KIP-87, KIP-98 and KIP-101. Given that a lot of people
are going to be on holiday soon and taking into account the complexity of
the mentioned KIPs, it seems that we could, at best, get one of them in for
the January release. And it seems suboptimal to bump the message format
version for just one KIP when we know we have three others lined up. I hope
that explains my reasoning. Does it make sense at all?

Ismael
