OmniRig didn‘t work well for me. Can VarAC integrate with Flrig?

I have seen in the release update section, that you are working on flrig support. That's great news!
Are you planning to support the XML-RPC interface too? http://www.w1hkj.com/flrig-help/index.html#ssSERVER
The reason for that question is, that this would allow remote control of flrig over TCP/IP. That might be very useful for remote-stations, but also for my setup:
The hamstack is running on a linux host. Flrig does the TRX control there. VaraC runs in a Windows-VM. This makes it neccessary to pass the CAT device to the VM (and back again when switching modes). While that works in general, its very annoying and causes lots of issues when switching modes often. With XML-RPC support, it would be possible to connect to flrig on the host from the VM via TCP/IP and the whole stack including VaraC would be usable synchronously.
P.S: I'm playing around with SDR Devices on the IF-Out and piping the output to virtual sound devices with just one TRX. That gives the ability to listen to different frequencies with different software simultaneously. I would love to have VaraC an "always on" client, that can be put in TX-Mode with one click. Just to clarify, why XML-RPC support would be a great convenience.
