Comment:

 ikaweh correctly unpacked my reasoning. Note that clients should still be
 notified prior to deployment of these changes, e.g. reading Roster I see
 that under some conditions it will unpack any valid JSON response
 independent of its response code:

 https://github.com/seansaito/Roster/blob/7268361a0d0ab416e804303716a11908b65e292e/app/models/onionoo_connector.py#L37-L45

 I've rebased my changes against master and included an addendum to the
 protocol document describing the new usage:
