Hi, before I published this patch also for CC I had this in "sideeffect" also 
in mind. As this also forces some changes in the freifunk-berlin scripts, but 
to have a "common name" was our preferred way.
I was also checking before sending this patch for the chances to get applied 
and also during the days the patch was in the "queue" nobody raised the voice. 

So finally, as this change will come, so it comes already inside this release 
and some derived projects also adapted the change.

Sven
