It should be all. Since r47784, vectoring already works with the XTSE in 
auto mode[1], using a vectoring capable firmware.

I can't say whether this change is really required. My vectoring test 
user doesn't have access to his line till mid january.

According to the ITU spec the bit has to be set. But if I have a look at 
XTSE from the status output that was send to me the last time[2], I get 
the feeling that at least this particular provider doesn't use this bit.

Since the bit doesn't broke my none vectoring VDSL2 line, I decided to 
set the bit to be conform to the specification.
