Admire your effort in applying all these patches—this commitfest thing looks frenetic now that I’m subscribed to the mailing list. Can only guess the effort required on the part of a few of you to study and triage everything. Respect.

Actually, I don’t advocate multiple protocols in core. But the exercise of considering one will help generalize the architecture enough to make all protocols pluggable.

The most interesting part for me is working out content negotiation—I think being able to package data in new ways will be super-interesting.

If you had to nominate only one of those problems, which one would you consider the most interesting?

Thanks for chiming in, really appreciate your time,
