In my opinion, anybody who is sophisticated enough to be using a proxy is sophisticated enough to be aware of what's
happening in OpenSimulator and sophisticated enough to to disable these changes if required. Anybody operating a grid
must take responsibility for managing their configuration when upgrading.
I disagree that no change in behaviour is a standard operating procedure in OpenSimulator. The project changes in
behaviour all the time, usually to better match the de-facto standard and features set by Linden Lab or to give a better
user/admin experience.
In fact, I would say that making OpenSimulator as functional as possible "out of the box" (within certain bounds such as
not bundling a web interface) is a standard OpenSimulator operating procedure. That's why we have SQLite as the default
database, for example. Under this principle, one should enable things like core groups support by default when it's
ready instead of leaving them forever disabled because some existing users may have configured their system differently.
Not following this principle puts the burden of configuration change on the large number of new users who are least able
to manage it rather than the smaller number of existing users who are not using an out-of-the-box configuration.
Indeed, new users may never know that certain OpenSimulator features exist at all and that the system is less functional
than it really is. All this makes it harder to grow the project.

People like us have the protection in the proxy and need to turn the
feature off. Not a problem for me, I'm aware of it, but my concern
was for those who didn't listen to me tell them "Dont' blindly reuse
configs"....
