I think we may want both eventually, but I do agree that protocol level has a lot higher "priority" than that. Something like protocol level compression has a bit of different tradeofs than compressing base backups, and it's nice not to compress, uncompress, compress again.
Yeah, good point, we definitely want both. Based on the field experience I've had (which might differ from others), having it protocol level would help more people tough, so should be higher prio.
