And while I believe that we should *allow* consumers to use the core layer directly, I do not believe we should *encourage* it. Middleware layers such as DAPL, IT-API or an MPI messaging system are enable the application to focus on application issues rather than on wire issues. That's why kDAPL has been used, and why we should be concerned with enabling efficient middleware even if we allow consumers to bypass it.
The core layer should be designed to encourage, not discourage, its use, otherwise it has the wrong abstraction.
