No, I was not saying that 8281 should be removed - just that I have built without the 8281 patch and the "problem" does not happen in that case. Since I think we both agree that, strictly speaking, syncprov should not be required on a consumer only configuration; syncrepl probably needs to be updated to calculate the CSN if it is not present in the response (that's really all that is being added by having syncprov between syncrepl and the database - right?). I'm not familiar with the code, so I don't know how difficult that would be.
