I'm not really on board with half-baked removal of protocol 2.
If we're going to kill it we should just kill it altogether.
(The argument that it's untested surely applies to the rest
of the P2 code as well.)
I have a vague recollection that JDBC users still like to use
protocol 2 for some reason --- is that out of date?
