This so users can come online directly with the correct vhost set, and not first with a standard (usually cloaked) host while auto-(re-)joining followed by a CHGHOST later. This is a long outstanding wish from users, I think. Services can simply send a CHGHOST/CHGIDENT to the UID, for example right before they send the SASL ... D S message (SASL succeeded) they can send like: CHGHOST 002ABCDEF some.nice.host Then UnrealIRCd 6.0.7-git and later will handle the CHGHOST even if the user is not known yet. Technically, the server where the UID is on will handle the message. And remote servers that don't know the user with this UID yet will forward to the server with the SID-portion of the UID. The CHGHOST will not be a broadcast but the vhost will show up in the UID protocol message that introduces the user. For CHGIDENT it is a similar story. Light testing has been done but more extensive testing is welcomed.
