User request for 100B full duplex can't reduce the ability to negotiate only this one speed; 100B half duplex can't reduce the ability to negotiate only this one speed and so on. It is only the advertisement speed, therefore other speeds like 100B half duplex and 10B half duplex are also allowed if auto-negotiation process is activated.
This change has been introduced due to problems with auto-negotiation with some endpoints. It turned out, that only one advertise speed prevent correct auto-negotiation process. Problem isn't occurs on all Ethernet devices/endpoints.
