I am not convinced about the usefulness of the subtypes patch. The examples
you cite -- FTP, bittorrent, distcc -- are cases where a client could pick
the most appropriate server from a set of equivalent instances. I don't see
how this can be useful in a PostgreSQL setting, at least not based on the
parameters server version and protocol version that you implemented.
