that's why I think we should clearly look at it now... what bugs me is the server request which only partially implement a feature so, if we freeze them now, we'll have to add another request, which will be a subset of the existing one in order to prevent too much code bloat in this area, this should be reviewed rather carefully. it doesn't mean we have to implement all the features, it means we need to pass most of the information (when possible)
It's OK to add fields to existing requests, this doesn't break backwards compatibility. In fact that's one of the reasons for the fixed request size. So as long as there is still some room in the request buffer it's not a problem (and yes CreateProcess is an exception, and will be fixed before the protocol is really frozen).
