As far as i know one of the end-goals of FLIP-6 is to have all
client-cluster communication go through the REST API. This implies that the
client cannot submit things directly to the blob service.
I'm wondering whether it really makes sense to change the current behavior
as any change made would effectively be deprecated-on-arrival.---
