I think we're handling protocol versioning & features in a non-optimal way. "Capabilities" should probably just be reserved for optional/configurable functionality (eg. full history, i2p support), whereas new functionality that we expect all up-to-date peers should support could just be identified by protocol version.

As an example, we expect all future peers will be able to offer the ability to download kernel data separately from output data (see: https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin/pull/2743/files). That should probably just result in a protocol_version bump, instead of creating a new capability. I believe this will result in simpler code over time, and also offers us the ability to do things like force really old peers to update (eg by refusing to connect to peers below a certain protocol version). I'd like to discuss this in Tuesday's meeting.
