Hey, I'm just opening this to keep track of the future features we talked about. Feel free to close if you track them somewhere else! :)

separate the message-passing from the ECS-replication parts of naia.
being able to pass any struct as a message (separte change-detection Property/Replicate from serialiazation (which shouldn't need to derive Property/Replicate))
being able to have different tick-frequencies (i.e. network send) per message/component. Being able to send messages separately from ECS-components.
being able to split the Protocolize enum into multiple pieces
