Actually no, this is correct.  The capabilities are experimental too,
the "x-rdma" will become "rdma" in the future, and we are free to modify
the protocol.

Will it happen?  Perhaps not.  But for the moment, that is the
situation.  The alternative is not merging, and it is a much worse
alternative IMHO.
