Well...   I was waiting until today to see if downstream API-related 
patches would appear.  Prior to CLD version 1.0, the "rules" are that 
any and all network protocol or client API changes are OK.  After 1.0, 
we will need to take typical userland library precautions to properly 
version API changes, avoid breakage, etc.

However, even prior to v1.0, API changes do introduce breakage in chunkd 
and tabled.  Typically, if you make a client API change, patches to 
update the other projects should be provided as well.

So I was leaning towards applying and then fixing up chunkd/tabled 
myself, but any proposed alternative described as "just refactor a thing 
or two" is certainly very appealing :)

It's up to you...
