I disagree. Patching this in the server means putting interaction 
techniques into the server. This also means that if for some reason my 
app needs long touch to do, well, whatever, I can't do it because the 
server prohibits it.

unless you have your own device with a limited user base and you tightly 
control the apps on your devices I strongly discourage from putting 
interaction techniques into the server itself.

As an example, many many moons ago the decision was made to put a 
restriction for a single cursor/keyboard focus into the server. and see 
where that got us...

Cheers,
