 == Implications ==
 
 The current server configuration property "!DefaultLocale" will be renamed to reflect what the property really does. The proposed new name is "!DefaultMessageLocale" because the property is only for the locale of messages returned to clients that have not specified their locale themselves. The format for this property will remain the same, ie: ISO639-1 name.
+
+Backwards compatibility is partially maintained because if the user is already using "DefaultLocale" with a value of "en" for English messages the new "DefaultMessageLocale" has a value of "en" by default. However, if they have changed to some other value they will be affected.
