Well, the master server already differentiates games based on the heartbeat,
and that will most likely not change for the time being, right? This will also
give us this separate "namespace", right?

The getServersExt query is being used for ipv6 connections and, if the id guys
upgraded to a newer version of dpmaster, we could completely remove the old
getservers query. So there we have namespace separation as well.
That's why I'd reason: we don't need this "darkplaces" protocol
