I don't think so. It would make the two functions unsafe. But these 
functions can be used only by programs compiled against CLN-1.2.0. 
Programs compiled using CLN-1.2.1 are safe anyway as the bad signature 
doesn't exist and programs compiled using CLN-1.2.2 are safe because the 
bad signature is not exposed and, hence, not used.
