rwhod protocol and >42 users

[Dave Smith]

Has there been any thought given to extending the rwhod protocol so that
more than 42 (1024/sizeof whoent (==24)) users on a system will be reported 
correctly?  This limit is entirely too small for today's systems.

If I read the sources to rwhod correctly, if I define a new revision of the
protocol, rwhod's with different versions of the protocol will discard
the packets.  Is this correct?  Will anyone have a fit (ok, I know _someone_
will have a fit, will anyone _important_ have a fit?) if I arbitrarily
define a new revision of the protocol?
