Ahhh, as a third party module, yes I would strongly support that. Providing base tcp, udp, maybe even the lightweight telnet 'protocol' without the specific glue to do anything in particular could all be good core features. I mention the lightweight telnet implementation only because it is a common denominator to several protocols, smtp, ftp etc. Implementing pop3/smtp, or even http over udp in the core was what I was suggesting we avoid ... as you say, third party add ons (or ASF module subprojects) for the big stuff is the way to go for those implementations.
