>> Right, I wasn't talking about how many steps/messages the negotiation takes. I just meant that if all negotiation of the mapping table happens just once (before VERACK) and that negotiation itself happens without use of short commands, then there is no need for re-negotiating short commands after they are already in use. Nothing concrete, but I can imagine that that may simplify some implementations.
