Hmm, I actually think the .txt file unsuccessfully tried to close the barn door after horse has long left. The existing clients that read protocol capabilities keep the last-read copy and then overwrite it when a new one came, which is why we couldn't update the protocol by sending only incremental changes, etc. without breaking existing clients. I somehow thought that we already discussed why this was bad the first time Duy's patch was posted, but apparently we didn't.
