It has been implemented on the 2.2 branch which is not yet released, so
yes, you need to apply the patch to 2.1.12 if you need the
functionality.

Also, rather than incrementing Version.DATA_FILE_VERSION further and
setting yourself up for this kind of problem again, you could leave it
at 97 and run the following (after applying the auto approval patch)
to make sure all lists get updated

#!/bin/sh
f=`mktemp`
echo "mlist.data_version = 96" >$f
for list in `/path/to/bin/list_lists --bare`; do
  /path/to/bin/config_list -i $f $list
done
rm $f


I don't intend to apply the patch to the 2.1 (stable) branch because of
i18n considerations.
