I have not looked at the actual patch, but does it allow you to set up
its own channels to listen to ?

For example if I'd want to set up a server to listen to incoming connections
over QUIC [1] - a protocol which create a connection over UDP and allows
clients to move to new IP addresses (among other things) then would the
current extensibility proposal cover this ?

Maybe a correct approach would be to just start up a separate
"postmaster" to listen to a different protocol ?
