Agree that breaking backwards compatibility is simply unacceptable.
There are valid reasons to want to use asymmetric signaling ( for
example load balancing and perhaps even to prevent hackers from
knowing where responses are bound a-priori).

The rport does seem like a hack, however.  With STUN, why not just
discover your port and use that in the via header of your signaling
instead of the rport? I have not come across ITSPs who seem to care
about rport.
