Apparently, we have no use for them whatsoever. Just drop them would shave off 8 bytes from all messages, which is nice, especially for the small messages that we sometimes send in the input {mouse|keyboard| channels. It'll break of course the protocol, so this 'capability' should be negotiated between client and server, but I believe this could be done as part of the handshake. Of course, if we ever have a UDP based channel, we'll need it, but for all TCP-based channels that we have today, this is simply not useful in any way.
