Yes, I think that is something to consider, maybe in combinations with other improvements.

It would be good to consider some kind of prioritization scheme for in what order different dissectors are called based on how weak heuristics they are using and similar.
I would also like to have a possibility to save "decode as" settings on permantent basis (including
priority settings etc.)

I think I have written some mails to the list about some preliminar ideas I had some months
ago, but I haven't had time to look so much further yet.

I have noticed that several of my collegues are getting problems due to that they get
certain packets decoded with wrong dissector.
