1. You're still yellow. (Message backgrounds anyway)
2. I think you're too hung up on the size of your computer. :-)
3. I agree network byte order is the lingua franca, but you're spending CPU cycles to swap bytes around. However this only wastes instructions on enciding and decoding information stored and read back by the same architecture.
4. Whatever is done needs to be biendian. Defaults shouldn't matter because you shouldn't be assuming defaults are the same between machines.
5. CBOR specifies big-endian. "All multi-byte values are encoded in network byte order (that is, most significant byte first, also known as "big-endian")."

Whatever replaces/continues QDataStream must continue big-endian.At this point, I'm thinking long-term we should think of whether we should deprecate QDataStream or whether the discussion we had on basing it on CBOR makes more sense.
If you want to create a class for little computers which never transmit data to real computers, that's fine. Just don't destroy something for the simple reason it isn't the default behavior of hobby computers. It was created the way it is for a reason and that reason still exists today.
