  Again, it has worked until now.  The limitation affects only changes
that no one has made, and no one has deployed.  So it's not really much
of a limitation, is it?

  If you're adding new functionality then yes, this limitation has to be
removed.

  The current code also limits the implementation to PEAPv0.  So?

  When you add the code that implements PEAPv2, you have to update a
bunch of code.  I fail to see why this is a surprise.
