I mean the kernel-to-daemon connector protocol, not the host-to-guest
protocol.

Do you expect to change the connector protocol in future, and if so
would the new daemon then be incompatible with old kernel versions?  If
so, then the daemon needs to be packaged in such a way that there can be
multiple versions installed and we automatically start whichever matches
the current kernel version.  But if it will remain backward-compatible
then we don't need to bother with that.

Thanks.
