Give it a bit longer, and we'll just be able to say "927", and everyone will know what you mean.

But for now, https://xkcd.com/927/

I recognise the quote every time. But I do not plan on learning the individual numbers of any of the xkcd strips. Recognising the quotes is enough for me.

The current protocol already has a perfectly clean "this has gone away forever, stop checking" result code, and it is being ignored. What will a new client or protocol do to fix that?
