Danny, You might recall the message that started the discussion was from a dude that wanted to selectively listen on one broadcast subnet but not another. I proposed to add a list of addresses to the broadcastclient command and include both original broadcast as well as multicast, just like the broadcast command now. I did not intend to remove the curent multicastclient command nor novolley option in the interest of backward compatibility.
You invite me to change the manycast commands, presumably because nobody uses them and backwards compatibilty doesn't matter. You might be right.
