It is, in our particular context.  That's the nice thing about working at
the application layer -- you are the application, so you have a pretty
good idea of what the desirable properties are.  Mosh is an interactive
shell, and in this particular context it's latency you want to optimise
for.

Once we gain some real-world experience from mosh, we can think about
making something more generic.  But I, at least, don't feel comfortable
about doing that.
