I don't think that agile programming is a suitable approach for back-end code like file-formats, network-protocols, APIs, frameworks etc.
It's okay for quickly evolving UX, but we are talking about long-term concepts that need to provide stability and IMHO that requirement is incompatible to agile programming. If for example you developed a network protocol in an agile way, in the end all machines would speak different dialects and you'd never get them to communicate reliably. just my 2 cents.
