The issue there is whether port 9999 is even open. Jason has commented 
he wants to eliminate it by default for WF 8. I'm personally just so-so 
about that idea, but can't really make a good argument against it.[1] A 
user can turn 9999 back on though if desired; the capability isn't being 
removed.

If 9999 is open an older CLI will have no problem dealing with WF 8.


[1] I see this as kind of like ripping off a band-aid. At some point 
external forces are going to force us toward using a minimal-port-count 
default config. So if the band-aid is going to eventual come all the way 
off, best to hurry up and get it over with.
