2. It feels like a server configuration protocol will stabilize faster if clients also can function as servers

since more code is using it, not just qjackctl.

the server configuration protocol has existed for nearly 8 years. almost nobody has chosen to use it, for anything at all. jackdbus is more or less its only use case.

I was thinking of a new configuration protocol where any libjack client can function as server.

But it illustrates how flaky the system is when a bug like this can exist for 10 years.
