The report body is arbitrary size. It depends on the number of differences
in versions you have in your WC. If you have a large WC with a large
variation in versions, then the report is going to be quite large.

Okay, no problem. We can continue to buffer. As I mentioned in a comment in
that code, we can also spin up a thread and use a pipe between the
client-push and the neon-pull. (if we really dislike the buffering for some
reason; my tendency is to avoid the thread)
