I was not aware of this, but I have done some debugging and the NickServ
authentication you use mostly likely does not go through erc-services,
but the core erc functionality to connect, which sends a PASS command
with a password from auth source. At least freenode accepts this as a way
to do NickServ authentication and the patch does not effect this
functionality at all. To check if that is indeed the case, maybe try
connecting without having the erc-services module loaded.

This patch introduces a different functionality as described above, as
erc-services, which only handles authentication with actual /nickserv
identify commands (not handled by the core connect functionality), did
not query auth source before this patch.
