I don't know what Russell is looking for, but I'm definitely not looking for
WB-XYZ. While it's true that certain things can be added with the
feature-command, you can't change the fundamental way it works. For example it's
not likely that we can add a "feature
dontBehaveStupidAndGetRidOfThePingPongStuff=1".

It seems that we have different thoughts about that - some people miss feature
XYZ in (x|win)board/UCI. For these people the "feature ..." command of
(x|win)board is enough. (dunno whether UCI has something similar, but I assume
it's similarly 'expandable') The other group of people simply don't like the
fundamental things of the protocol(s) [in my case, the ping/pong stuff of
(x|win)board, the the_gui_will_tell_you_when_to_ponder things in UCI] For these
people (well, maybe I'm the only one in this group, heh) a completely new
protocol would be needed.
