Correct

I wouldn't be so sure: in 3.3, we now bundle OOB messages, so the tag to 
use to skip bundling is DONT_BUNDLE, but in Infinispan < 5.3, they used 
OOB to achieve this. This is not supported, so bundling of OOB messages 
might break things.

Or it might as well work, but I for one won't make any guarantees... :-)
