You can easily support new and old versions  (be backward compatible) if you 
add the fields at the end of the struct, I see no problem there. Older 
implementations won't see those fields and won't access them.

The only benefit I see in adding a new message type to send SI information is 
that if they change more frequently, then we don't need to send the entire 
info_ind to the pcu and make it parse all of it again.
