I like this slightly altered idea ;)

We should really wrap up for a 1.4.0 release as soon as possible so we 
can get on with other server work. So I'd love to help plan out an 
interop thinger in june, and then otherwise get this binary protocol 
stuff done ASAP.

We have a hackathon planned during the mysql user's conference coming 
up, by the way! I wasn't going to formally announce it because we don't 
have a timeslot yet :) But it's there if anyone's going.

In the meantime, pretty much anyone can take a look through the binary 
plan v2 doc and spot the differences between it and any of the test 
clients. I'd do it right now if I didn't have all this "work" crap to do :)
