For heaven's sake, in computer science we can *NEVER* use the same
feature for *MORE THAN ONE THING*.  If it doesn't work format-wise
that's fine, but "it's only supposed to be used by dumb transports" is
ridiculous.

Hmmmm... I am lost here....

Jakub and Johannes seems to have been arguing that "info/refs is for 
dumb transports, therefore it cannot be used for any other purpose."  I 
find this argument utterly bizarre, since in general, in computer 
science, you try to be multipurpose whenever practical.
