Sorry to come to this late: arises from reviewing STATUS.

Ugh.  Fine for trunk, but that's a lot of complexity to foist on
a stable branch.  A module would not only need to check MMN,
but also implement fallback behaviour if there are no flags.
So why not KISS and stick with that fallback for all 2.4?
