I'd be surprised if we changed the protocol just to be able to share
some descriptions, when we have everything we need for sharing refs.
Also note that config is non-versioned etc.

But my main point here is that we should discuss the pros and cons of
each approach in context (the context of the original thread), and I
haven't heard many pros and cons for either.
