Yup; it's messy, and in many many different ways. Won't be a snapshot rollout. Not a bad idea, though, if implemented correctly; time to dig out my notes, I guess.
Is there a reason not to use an outbound tcp/quic connection? It was unthinkable years ago to use TCP with DNS, but now we have DoH and the world hasn't spiraled out of control. Heck if you made it a websocket you'd have a built in channel for multi-media html, etc. That is, just push a URL down and fire up a webview that the OS makes certain is in focus.
Well, TCP means that the servers have to expect to have 100k's of open connections; I remember that used to be a problem. As for D'oH, sure; let's centralize the attack surface.
