It is a rule change...

I'm in favor of making the small change now.  In the long term we should 
consider what the client _should_ be able to see and (if necessary) do 
something like we have with pcity->occupied.  Yes, we'll probably have 
lots of bugs with that too...

Having the client hide information just isn't good.  I think we should 
fix this at the source and handle the fallout as it comes.
