Yes, unfortunately. The multi-tty code changed emacsclient's protocol

I was talking about the user perspective. I have, for example, a bunch
of code that depends on the server auth file and its relation with
server-name. That would be invalidated if suddenly we switched to
other kind of authentication method. Not the end of the world, but
there should be clear benefits before doing that.
