Hi,

A lot of the stuff on there seems way beyond what can be achieved in
something incrementally added to the protocol. Fair enough in an article
about "v4" of the protocol. But I don't think we are - nor should we be
- talking about a full new protocol version here. Instead we are talking
about extending the protocol, where the extensions are opt-in.

Greetings,
