Sorry this still isn't clear to me.  You're saying that if EC receives longlife 
setting
it will be able to do this in the field?  If so, then I think this patch will 
need
to block that setting to not allow field conversions into longlife mode.

Yes, I agree.  This sounds like a good follow up to me too.
