This appears to be the only obvious unresolved issue regarding this patch:
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/action/patch_view?id=412
I don't have a strong personal position on whether or not we should do
this, but it strikes me that Tom hasn't given much justification for
why he thinks we should do this, what benefit we'd get from it, or
what the design should look like. So I guess the question is whether
Tom - or anyone - would like to make a case for a more serious
protocol overhaul, or whether we should just go with the approach
proposed here.
