I think we may want both eventually, but I do agree that protocol level has a lot higher "priority" than that. Something like protocol level compression has a bit of different tradeofs than compressing base backups, and it's nice not to compress, uncompress, compress again. > If SSL compression is busted on base backups, it's equally busted on > regular connection and replication streams.

I think our answer there was always a bit of a cop out...
