See the spacenavd pull request about breaking changes to the protocol. Also, this project uses C89. Changing it to C11 just to use a anonymous structure is not acceptable.

I understand that you're not willing to merge this due to breaking changes. For the time being, people that want multi-dev support could use my fork.

.. so without the anonymous structure, this could go into a 0.7 release? 🤠

No, it breaks the protocol, and breaks binary compatibility. A new protocol is necessary for this and a number of other useful features. And a mechanism to maintain backwards compatibility by falling back to the old protocol with reduced functionality on both sides (spacenavd and libspnav).
