Well, it depends on how you define "bug" :-) Historically, flags have been defined for future features to make sure other developers don't interfere by defining conflicting flags. Such is the distributed nature of the collaboration. The append flag falls into this category. The reaction of the server when you specify this flag is, in some sense, correct in that you will completely fail should you try to append.  I suppose that may be confusing but at least you won't pollute any data. Asking that the server return "not supported" would only address XRootD-based implementation but not, for instance, dCache-based servers. I suppose, we could remove the flag from the client interface "hh" file but leave it defined in the private headers.
