Maybe I don't understand your question.. but, there is no change about
querier selection. (What is the relation to my last comment?)

I prefer to have an option to fix the problem rather than close my
eyes, even though it may make some additional complexity. (But it's
really complex?)

Anyway, in a README file of IGMPv3 imple., I specify as follws:
	....
	After this static configuration is done, any old IGMP Query
	message doesn't affect to change the compatibility mode.
	Remember this is useful only when correct upstream router(s)
	must be IGMPv3 capable and you want to filter out or ignore
	some bogus or unneeded old version's Report and Query messages
	transfered by irregular nodes. This configuration affects all
	interfaces of the box.
	Note that this configuration is not mentioned in a spec and
	turned off as the kernel's default value.

I've never said host compat is *always* wrong. But we may need to
bypass this automatic mode change *for some cases*. And at this
moment, I don't have other good idea to bypass it.
Or, do you have another solution to bypass the DoS Jon Zeeff mentioned?
Or, ignoring the problem is good for the deployment?

No.

Thanks.
