Hold on here, that wasn't a recommendation. That was an observation. I never
subscribed to the idea of integrating the vlan dissector into the Ethernet
dissector. That's why I never picked up the work.
If someone else did like the idea, and did the research and the work, that's
fine. Not pointing fingers, but now we see the poor basis of the idea, and the
limits of the preparations done.
