📝 Original message:On MSG_MEMTX: The current version has a much higher Just Works value.
On empty "inv": It is generally better to do something
unconditionally, than have a response generated only under certain
conditions.
And Alan is correct to note that unknown messages are ignored
(intentionally, for expansion). However, unconditionally returning a
response has little to do with feature probing/discovery. It is
simply a clear, deterministic indication that processing is complete,
for each invocation.
