He does care! Because if he does change it, it will break existing code.
The none standard synchronet MSGID is used internally in it's messagebase,
afaik.

In my opinion a wrong design decision to use the MSGID for this. But
apparently difficult to fix...

It seems to work fine in jam messagebases when there are synchronet msgid's
involved...
