Q: Are the mosh principles relevant to other network applications?

    We think so. The design principles that Mosh stands for are
conservative: warning the user if the state being displayed is out of
date, serializing and checkpointing all transactions so that if there
are no warnings, the user knows every prior transaction has succeeded,
and handling expected events (like roaming from one WiFi network to
another) gracefully.

Can the ideas be used to resume a pull, push or clone operation?
Especially serializing and checkpointing.
