I suppose. You could show benefit from the caching mechanisms and I think in our case, the code reuse between frontend platforms is an excellent opportunity for improvement, especially with projects like MythWeb, MythRoku, MythMVP and others coming online. Making the protocol more inclusive by adding additional commands does not disallow direct DB access by the frontend, but provides a standard mechanism for other frontends to speak to the backend, especially for platforms where MySQL access is unavailable or undesired.
Not to mention not having to deal with firewall access and mysql grant permissions for remote hosts.
