My explanation was intended only to explain why packet handling gets a tiny 
little bit faster. But you are right, there is a very minimal impact:
normal packets (with User-Name) are always passed through hints, this is 
unchanged. So, the only new behaviour is that packets without User-Name 
attribute are also passed through hints, which indeed is new.
However, it would only break an existing configuration iff someone relies on 
the fact that his Accounting-On-Off packets are ignored in the hints run.
I don't want to judge on that, but it sure sounds odd if your configuration 
relies on that.

The patch would add consistency where it wasn't before, which is a very good 
thing IMHO. But I also see your concerns.

Stefan
