Comment (by jacobsantos):

 Denis-de-Bernardy:

 I think it might be acceptable, since Gzip support will be handled out of
 the box also. The fundamental design of the HTTP API, was to support the
 basics of what 95% of what people will use. Any new feature has to be
 tested and supported on all of the five transports, therefore any feature
 will require additional development time and testing.

 Given that it is HTTP, the testing environment is quite painful and slow.
 Authentication should also be handled out of the box, but that will most
 likely come in 2.9.
