for later reference, i'd discussed this with nick and asked him to check
if the 'status_request' reply contained any kind of valid data in the
specific cases where this patch will disable it; my concern is if there
is valid data in it, it's possible there are applications out there that
might currently expect and/or use it, even if it's against the RFC,
which might result in a regression after this patch. However, if the
reply is empty or just has garbage, it's unlikely that any application
is using it for anything currently, so there would be less chance of
causing a regression.
