It's a plan to provide a facility that can solve the underlying problem
of heterogeneous network setups.

Yes, let's.

It would change behavior for everyone for the sake of fixing a few
setups. Does %DUMBFW or %COMPAT create a risk that's not justified by
the functionality it provides? These exceptions have a way of living
long past their expiration date.
If we're confident that's the right thing, then let's change it in the
release and add a note in the docs. I'm OK with the change; any other
comments? What should be the actual string?
Regardless, I'll make the connection profile changes in master, which
gives us more time to find problems and provide a better integration for
them. I'll discuss it in emacs-devel. Thank you for your consideration
and help.
