What does this mean for file formats such as Sniffer that do not support the DOCSIS link layer type? 

It would mean that
1) the current "force DOCSIS" mechanism couldn't be removed if you're going to capture DOCSIS traffic with Sniffers (but then I wasn't expecting that mechanism to go away in any case); 

	2) you wouldn't be able to save a DOCSIS capture in Sniffer format.
