if the fork adds it at the same place then its surely the best to add
it there too
If they put something else at the end of the array then its better to
give it a random fixed value and support both values. Otherwise ABI
would break

My attempts at communicating with them in the past about such issues
have all failed. If you have more luck then sure put it at the end
of the respective list

If a bugfix only changes things apparently unrelated to the bug with no
further explanation, that is a good sign that the bugfix is wrong.
