# MSC3932: Extensible events room version push rule feature flag | ||
|
||
As defined by [MSC3931](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/3931), push rules | ||
can be disabled or enabled based on what the room version itself supports feature-wise. This MSC | ||
introduces a feature flag for [MSC1767](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1767), | ||
making it possible to restrict extensible events to an appropriate room version through notifications. | ||
|
||
A theory with this approach is that if push rules (and therefore notifications) are denied for extensible | ||
events, they are even less likely to be sent in inappropriate room versions. | ||
|
||
## Proposal | ||
|
||
For room versions supporting extensible events, they declare support for an `m.extensible_events` | ||
feature flag. | ||
|
||
Push rules which don't specify a `room_version_supports` condition are assumed to *not* support | ||
extensible events and are therefore expected to be treated as disabled when a room version *does* | ||
support extensible events. This is to ensure that legacy rules do not trigger in new room versions, | ||
similar to how this MSC aims to only enable certain push rules in applicable room versions. | ||
|
||
The above rule does *not* apply to the following push rule IDs: | ||
* `.m.rule.master` | ||
* `.m.rule.roomnotif` | ||
* `.m.rule.contains_user_name` | ||
|
||
Note that this MSC intentionally considers the lack of the condition rather than the lack of feature | ||
flag check on the push rule: this is intentional as the timeline for extensible events appears to | ||
show that this "push rules feature flags" system will land at the same time as extensible events, | ||
causing all future MSCs to consider extensible events too. | ||
|
||
Any room version which supports MSC1767's described room version is required to list this new feature | ||
flag. | ||
|
||
## Potential issues | ||
|
||
There is complexity in understanding how to apply the feature flag's condition to existing push rules, | ||
however through implementation effort it will become clearer. | ||
|
||
## Alternatives | ||
|
||
None discovered. | ||
|
||
## Security considerations | ||
|
||
No new considerations apply. | ||
|
||
## Unstable prefix | ||
|
||
While this MSC is not considered stable, implementations should use `org.matrix.msc3932.*` in place of | ||
`m.*` throughout this proposal. |

Per #3952, we should require that the deprecated push rules be ignored in supported room versions. This would mean that clients can avoid sending empty/useless objects on their events.
It's unclear if we'd want to support
m.mentions
as a mixin or regular content block though - either works.
