Daniel Savarese commented on NET-393:
-------------------------------------

sendCommandWithID being public is consistent with the original design intent for base protocol classes.  Why are you not discussing these issues on the development mailing list first?

> These allow the user to override the tag generation, or even send invalid tags.
> I think it would be better to reserve these for internal use.
> If a use case for them is found later, the visibility can be changed back. 
> But reducing visibility breaks binary compatibility - best to start with minimal visibility (and mutabiliy) and relax as necessary later.
