so the difference between the current and proposed is:
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES vs FTP_ACTIVE_MODE=NO
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO vs FTP_ACTIVE_MODE=YES
do any apps check for FTP_ACTIVE_MODE?
are we going to apply patches to each app to check for this
and maintains those patches over the course of time?
seems to be a change without commensurate benefit.....it will
confuse some, suprise others and doesnt seem to offer
substantial benefit.
recommend against the change.
