RFC 5536 and the O flag in INN's newsfeeds

Hi,

RFC 5536 states that

|   [...]
|   The Injection-Info header field contains information provided by the
|   injecting news server as to how an article entered the Netnews
|   system; it assists in tracing the article's true origin.
|
|     NOTE: Some of this information has previously been sent in non-
|      standardized header fields such as NNTP-Posting-Host, X-Trace,
|      X-Complaints-To, and others.  Once a news server generates an
|      Injection-Info header field, it should have no need to send these
|      non-standard header fields.


OTOH, the O flag in INN's newsfeeds file relies on the contents of the
X-Trace: header to determine the origin of an article. As this header
is supposed to be obsoleted by the Injection-Info header, are there any
plans to change innd in order to provide origin-based feeds based on the 
information provided by the Injection-Info: header rather than the X-Trace: 
header?
