If the client wants to group things the client should do so.
Well, I have a use-case for it. My use-case involves low-bandwidth networks on which every byte counts. Also, this pack mode communicates to a listener an as-complete as possible GPS state in a single packet.
Furthermore, from my point of view gpsd is the server, gps2udp is a simple client program of gpsd that performs a simple transformation and sends out the result.
I'm trying very hard to do the right thing here and upstream work we have.
