I think one of the point from your parent comment is that something that works for people is a powerful way of making things happen, much more powerful than rants or theory or protocols. I also noticed that with cryptography algorithms/protocol for example: design the most amazing algorithm - no one is going to use it ever if there is no great reference implementation people can use.

I can get on board with that if there's a protocol spec - at least a draft or something more tangible than "it's a tavern".

I just see a bunch of undocumented C++ code here.
