I didn't follow this thread, I randomly read this. While MIDI can be used
as an interface for non-music-things, jackd is an application for music
usage. There are many issues with MIDI and I hope coders for music
applications focus to optimize music application's MIDI for music usage
and nothing else.

If you like to use MIDI as a serial interface for something else, then I
won't call it MIDI, but RS foo. You for sure won't take care about the
MIDI protocol, e.g. running status, active sensing, _normal_ data vs SysEx
etc., pp., but this is MIDI for and music software can't take care about
other serial interface use cases.
