Yeah I get all that, but the only two connection types that are useful are http/s/ and ssh. SSH can have work-arounds like the way google does.

Let's let the people that want non http workloads pay more.

Remember that, at one stage, the only two types that were useful were FTP and telnet. HTTP and SSH didn't even exist.

Let's not strangle the next big thing that doesn't exist yet before it can even be born, yeah?

The next big thing can happen on IPv6
But only if you don't hide everybody away behind routers that require HTTP and a host header.
