## Potential issues
While Synapse defaults to the behavior of invalidating other devices and
sessions this may not be true of other implementations. Thus, a default of
`true` may not be backwards compatible. It might be more prudent to specify that
the behavior of not specifying the `logout_devices` flag is undefined.
The specification states:
> The homeserver SHOULD NOT revoke the access token provided in the request,
> however all other access tokens for the user should be revoked if the request
> succeeds.
Defaulting `logout_devices` to `true` should be backwards compatible.
## Alternatives
Provide a new endpoint in a future version that supports an additional field (as
above), using a new endpoint would avoid backwards compatibility issues.
