Description

The current wording is

NOTE: This protocol is subject to change without warning at any time (and has in the past) and is not versioned. Use at your own risk!

which means, more or less, the same thing, but I think "internal use only" and "unsupported" would be more direct and clearer.

Research direction

Search the site source for the quoted protocol note and read the surrounding documentation. Replace the indirect warning with wording that explicitly says the client-server protocol is for internal use only and unsupported, then check the rendered page to confirm the note is clear.
