while that could be preferred, here's some reasons why it may not be
1. pre-existing behavior. maybe queries have only started getting big enough to where this mattered, but all of our existing clients communicate the original way and won't migrate
2. more complex behavior on clients and services as you've now introduced a new stateful resource between client and service. should clients store query ids, or does the service handle idempotency? what db does the service use to store queries? how do we limit stored queries? do clients have to manage number of queries stored? does the service?
