what ever get patched, it should not brake existing installs
in the same version tree, unless there are urgent reasons for to do so
( security , bugfixes etc ), i am not sure what to decide in this case
at current i have it shown as
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "shared/tss2/INBOX"
and it looks ok to me
