           Summary: RFE: remove the serial number of messages
           Product: Spice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: protocol
        AssignedTo: spice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: ykaul at redhat.com


Apparently, we have no use for them whatsoever. Just drop them would shave off
8 bytes from all messages, which is nice, especially for the small messages
that we sometimes send in the input {mouse|keyboard| channels.
It'll break of course the protocol, so this 'capability' should be negotiated
between client and server, but I believe this could be done as part of the
handshake.

Of course, if we ever have a UDP based channel, we'll need it, but for all
TCP-based channels that we have today, this is simply not useful in any way.
