[development] sid not available in anonimous user

[Ivan Sergio Borgonovo]

I just noticed that $user->sid is not available for anonymous users.
It get chopped once $user get overwritten in sess_read even if the
full session row get loaded. (5.X and 6.X).

include/session.inc

$user = db_fetch_object(db_query("SELECT u.*, s.* FROM {users} u
INNER JOIN {sessions} s ON u.uid =
// $sid=$user->sid;

//...

  // We didn't find the client's record (session has expired), or
they are an anonymous user.
else  {
    $session = isset($user->session) ? $user->session : '';
    $user = drupal_anonymous_user($session);
//    $user->sid=$sid;
  }

since it makes more uniform to access sid through the code, is there
a good reason to kill it?

If there isn't any good reason to kill it... could this small change
get into core?

thx
