Then you think this justifies inventing a custom marshalling
scheme and thus forcing all clients to not just patch the driver
but also patch or even re-implement msgpack library they use? 

Worse yet, with such a huge protocol change you can add complete
marshalling of any object - SQL parse tree, Lua thread along with
all its referenced objects, Lua code and stack data, and what not
-- all very desired for other features, like distributed SQL or 
shipping/executing Lua code close to data.

Worse *yet*, it's quite possible to add all these features without
an MP_EXT. But this doesn't concern you at all. 

So what about an RFC?
