+ AA6YQ comments below

The ADIF committee apparently thinks all software is easy to change and should 
do so to match their intentions.

+ An interchange specification is by definition dynamic. New digital modes are 
a common occurrence - a trend we should welcome and encourage. SUBMODE was 
added to the ADIF specification 6 years ago. If an application can't "keep up" 
with simple extensions like SUBMODE, either it's poorly structured, or its 
developer is incompetent.

We unsuccessfully fought this idea so you'll just have to live with what 
they've done.

+ The vote on 2019-05-21 to approve ADIF 3.1.0 -- which defines FT4 as 
<MODE:4>MFSK SUBMODE:3>FT4 -- was unanimous, as shown in this announcement:
