excellent, I'm glad to see this getting pushed forward. Though... if
we're going to get a different port than 49000 we probably need to know
sooner rather than later since switching ports once things are 'out
there' and in use will be difficult, no?
There's not a great way to handle it. At some point we need to make a
release that uses the new port number by default. Any older versions
that want to connect to newer stuff will have to use the --port options.
Release documentation can help that a bit. The sooner we do it the
better, for sure.
