I don't have a super-strong opinion on the fd passing (I guess my main
feeling would be more "should we have it?" than "where should it go in
the message?" but the should we have it discussion has been had)

However I don't really get the argument about extending the type
system being disruptive, since there are other extensions also in
progress. You may as well dump in another one (in fact getting them
all done at once so bindings would update in one shot, would be an
admirable goal ... the feature negotiation could even be "typesystem
2.0" instead of allowing subsets/combinatorics of the extensions).
