No, the two are pretty much unrelated. The always-erase-the-old-value
fix (not really a feature!) in the above-referenced commit should apply
to all annotations, not just client connection annotations. IIRC, our
connection annotation work simply exposed the fact that we screwed up
with annotation updates earlier, and we fixed that bug in the same project.
