It's not a bug. It's a fairly intrusive code addition, and our guidelines
for "what goes where" see "small and isolated changes and bug fixes" in 2.3,
and "larger and potentially breakage-causing changes" in git master / 2.4
(The feature might look small from the outside, but the actual changes are
deeply tied into the SSL authentication bits on the server side, so it's
truly falling into the "larger changes" bin).
Another feature that you really want on the server is server-side peer-id
support :-) - and that one is even more intrusive, so I'd just stay at
git master for the server. Which is what I do on my servers, so we
usually discover breakage of the *server* component fairly quickly...
