Also, you're literally changing the on-wire format. That's by definition 
not backwards compatible with EVERYTHING out there that isn't purely CPU 
based (which is A LOT).

The fact that you don't understand this, means you don't understand the 
problem space. Your statements are ludicrous to anyone with any kind of 
non-trivial knowledge how networking works.

It'd be like I would write up some documents on how design rockets and try 
to tell NASA / SpaceX how they should design their space vehicles. I only 
have the most basic "popular science" knowledge of how rockets work. You 
seem to be in the same situation when it comes to networking.
