Continued digging, since this bothers me...

Seems like we have an RPC interface in the core, use by serctl, using  
something called "binrpc"
http://git.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=sip-router;a=blob;f=utils/sercmd/README

mi_rpc exports Kamailio's MI interface over RPC.

XMLRPC seems to be a an XMLRPC wrapper to the RPC core interface.

Which means that using mi_rpc *and* xmlrpc I can send mi commands over  
xmlrpc, right?

Now, will we have the ser "raw" RPCs and Kamailio's mi commands side  
by side? Any official plan for the future?
