no.

Or are the patches breaking code where draft 13 does not require the server

no.

i did not see the sections where ignoring was required.

if ignoring is now required in draft 13, then draft 13 is quite a confusing
document, because section 8.8 of draft 13 specifically states that the
server MUST return an NFS4ERR_INVAL when the sequence id an/or client id are
not zero'ed.

we need consensus for the bakeathon.
