I suppose this is more of an option now that PCAS has now been unbundled from Base.

https://github.com/epics-modules/pcas

Actually, this has been done in the PCAS module a while ago:

https://github.com/epics-modules/pcas/commit/9caf4cf56f338dac32ecb856b9e3e9311a3a7dae#diff-38e62f484b9928de4a9c1ae3475d4524

This thread is about older versions of Base. (And I wonder why Dirk is "always" installing old Base versions.) 

I don't think it is worth adding the change to the mentioned released Base versions 3.14.12.3 and 3.15.6, especially as the 3.14 series is closed and it is possible to compile the PCAS module against older Base versions (please consider the note in the PCAS readme).
