Someone made an improvment sugestion years ago about the srv entry in dns for a serverport. So we don't need valves proprietary protocol if they are realizing that there are existing technologies we can use. The only change is on clientside to save DNS in favourites and lookup for a srv record for a domain/subdomain. It is also compatible with ipv6. So I can't understand why they aren't doing this easy change. It's better for serveradmins and players.
