If you want to criticise the Bitcoin protocol for sloppyness, the variable
length of some messages isn't where I'd start.
Note that ping has the same issue, its length has changed over time to
include the nonce.
If your parser can't handle that kind of thing, you need to fix it. The
protocol has always worked that way.

<div><span>That's me. I never said to make all messages fixed length. I=
said to make a fixed number of fields per protocol. So given a protocol ve=

easier for parsing messages, but just good practice. I don't see why a =
1 byte flag needs to be optional anyway.<br>
