According to your definition of protocol, there are three different 
protocols in the donkey network (v.61, v. 0.45, emule) plus overnet 
(also with different protocol dialects). The reference client 
explicitely wants to get other clients out of the network, emule lacks 
any documentation on their protocol changes and extensions (oh, it's 
open source, you know :-( ) and has plenty of nice new ideas which might 
cause additional trouble.

To me, keeping up with that seems a lot of work to do...
