We don't feel we can support clients out of our control, but we'd love it if you proved us wrong. Let us know if we can help w/ setup

I don't think anyone would expect you to actively support alternate clients, but letting them on the network is a good start

You're right, it's not. I don't think sacrificing interoperability for velocity is a winning strategy either. Time will tell
