I liked to keep that one. The point of WIRE_ATTR isn't to be
some abstraction but to label that struct as something that
goes over the wire. This lets people know that it would break
something if you change that structure. Looks like I need to
send a patch that adds a comment explaning the meaning of
WIRE_ATTR.
