Someone decided to change the meaning of Milter protcol responses
that were defined 15+ years ago, with a huge installed base of
code that faithfully implements those responses, and they forgot
to tell the people who implement the software that receives those
responses.
That would be an unilateral protocol change.
Why not prepend a header (like Milters already do) and let Spamassassin
etc. trigger on that label.
