+==Compatibility==

+Currently, there is a similar protocol feature '''mining.capabilities''' that
+was intended for various protocol extensions.  However, '''mining.configure'''
+is incompatible with this feature as it requires a server response confirming
+all accepted/negotatied extensions. The reason why we made it incompatible is
+that '''mining.capabilities''' request has no associated response.
