+Deprecated P2P messages
+-----------------------

+- BIP 61 reject messages are now deprecated. Reject messages have no use
+ case on the P2P network and are only logged for debugging by most network
+ nodes. Furthermore, they increase bandwidth and can be harmful for privacy
+ and security. It has been possible to disable BIP 61 messages since v0.17
