Dumb question time - Would this protocol buffer benefit the MicroPython implementation in any way?

There has been big movement on the binmodes, but the documentation has not caught up. I will get that out this week.
So, the new Bus Pirates actually support multiple binary interface modes. The v3.x was really tricky and managed to support multiple protocols from a single interface, but over time that got messy.
In the latest firmware, use the binmode command to select the exposed interface. Currently there are binmodes for logic analyzing, a debug mode, and some other odds and ends.
A couple weeks ago @dreg added a v3.x compatibility layer binmode that can handle, I believe, SPI at the moment with I2C possible in the future. It works with flashrom and avrdude. Maybe it will be useful to your existing scripts?
