That will be addressed with the control port implementation of next generation. It's still an undecided part of the engineering work which is how we are going to proceed with it. Do we change the current events/commands to support both v2 and v3? Do we make new events/commands for v3? ... (#20699) It's quite a big piece of work so if anyone wants to take a stab at the specification! woot!!! :) Thanks!
